Getting ready for Spring/Summer

So I'm getting ready for Spring and Summer, time to spruce up the yard and get the BBQ going, its been a long miserable Winter and the weather here on Long Island has finally broke

So I'm spending the day with the Wife and Dog in the yard planting, still lots to do but I thought I would share

Also would be interested to see what you folks got going on in your yards, so show your stuff


Loving the weather, but digging holes is no fun

Have fun buddy & it's looking great so far

I here you, I'm sweating bullets right now, I think I dug 10 holes, lugged 70+ bricks, 20 bags of mulch, 3 bags of sand, 8 bags of potting soil and I'm still not done

I've never planted a veggie garden myself, however I have had good luck with the topsy turvey Tomato plant thing, got nice results!!

Mr. Green is not to be confused with Mr. Green-thumb

Love working outside. I've been spending an hour at night after work working on the house and yard. We have a craftsman bungalow looking house and I've added cedar shakes to the gable above our garage and around our entry way. Will be painting the rest of the house this summer along with the water system.

Well I'm off today and the weather couldn't be nicer so I decided to snap a few photos of the plants we planted to show there progress, everything seems to have taken root and is blooming nicely
