We weeding all the beds, cleaned the outside of our shed, so we can paint the shingles soon, and bought mulch. Oh and we put our BBQ together finally and had a BBQ last night. Chat Icon

Re: What projects did you do over the weekend?

We are working on getting the front of our house to be nice!

We're replacing old rotted wood edging on the plant beds with nice stone edgers. We planted some bushes and flowers. We also got rid of a planter that was right in the middle of our front yard, that was a LOT of work, I have never seen so many roots concentrated in one place before!!

Next we replace the fence and then it will look so much better!

Chat Icon glad to know I'm not the only one with back breaking work. Chat Icon Sounds like everyone was pretty busy.

I forgot we also regraded around our shed and moved bricks that were behind the shed and buried in the dirt. Chat Icon Now we just have to get rid of them.Chat Icon Chat Icon

DH seeded the yard and finished cleaning up leaves and debris from the winter.

I bought some candles and stuff for spring.

I am off this week and I cleaned the blinds and windows today. I also cleaned the ceiling fans too.

Can you fertilize and seed at the same time?

I was told by my FIL(Mr Greenthumb) that I had to wait about three weeks after putting down my fertilizer to seed. He said that the fertilizer will kill all the seed that I put down.

We use Scott's and you can put the seed and the Starter Fertilizer (Step 1)at the same time.

That is exactly what we did.
Or I guess I should say what DH did.
