I finally shot a video update of the container garden and posted it on YouTube. I’ve been adding new containers almost weekly and plan to continue through the growing season. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcD0kqO3nV8&feature=player_embedded
Just a couple a random thoughts as I relax and enjoy this beautiful rainy day… Springtime lawn destruction: Where’s the logic in ‘rolling’ the lawn?

With temperatures in the mid 50’s F, not wanting to waste this unseasonably fine weather, I spent some time caring for the maples, arborvitaes, and flowering cherry trees.
