A garden day

Today I'm going to spend my time in the garden, enjoying this beautiful spring weather. In the last few weeks I've been digging in my green manure beds, so they're all ready for spring planting.
My lovely father in law is also going to drop by and help me slash down some over-enthusiastic weed growth in the front yard. I'm going to be planting my pumpkins and zucchinis and cucumbers out the front, under the fruit trees this year, which should free up a lot more space in the raised veggie beds, as well as keeping down the weeds (and looking pretty) in the front garden. Win, win, win!
I've also been doing some big tidying up in the back yard to make it safer for my son to play in now that he is walking. It really reminded me how important it is to be organised and deal with things right away- once you've put something down to deal with later it often stays there for a very long time! I found our long-lost hammer, moved ladders that haven't been used in months and cleaned out our worm farm from about 4 years ago! Hmmm, I think I need to prioritize garden clean up and maintenance a little more!
I'm also hoping to do some craft activities if I get time. Christmas is fast approaching and I really want to give all handmade things for Christmas this year, so I need to get some projects finished quickly and get some more underway if I'm going to complete them all in time. At least I have them all planned, and even managed to buy all my material that I'll need on sale.
So, a fun, frugal day ahead.
