Looks good girl! It was finally a beautiful day. Planted several different varities of lettuce in one of my above ground garden boxes. Prepped another for seeds tomorrow. Cut part of the grass on the property. Sprayed down the patio furniture and setup the patio. Cleaned out pots and prepped them for seeds. I have the remaining half of the yard to finish cutting. I had to finish up because it was getting to dark out. Have a good evening.Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-6447410851224445142012-03-13T20:59:10.131-04:002012-03-13T20:59:10.131-04:00This years weather for you is a far cry from last ...This years weather for you is a far cry from last year at this time.
