Virus or no virus, the grass is growing. My lawn mower started on the first pull today . That always makes me happy and I feel like I got a couple hours bonus. So now I'm ahead on the spring cleanup.

We are still a couple of weeks away from grass mowing. The yard is much too wet for our lawn tractor.

Cut mine last week. Applied both weed killer / crabgrass preventer and lime yesterday. Had 1/2" of rain last night. Working on another mower today. TORO personal pace mower from dumpsters (very low miles.) Either it never worked, or previous owner tried to fix it. Tomorrow will work on my old Merry Tiller. Trying to get caught up on some projects that have been on back burner too long.

Yup,
Normally a very exciting time of the year in my yard. My Acer Triflorum out my kitchen window I noticed this morning broke it’s first bud today.
The potted Japanese maples are all out and budding in various stages. The non tropical bonsai as well all be they badly neglected

Venus seems super bright in the night sky tonight around here. I'm guessing probably due to reduced pollution, and that, as I understand it, it's relativly close and won't be again for another 8 yrs.
Take a peek if you get a chance.
I mowed last Friday for the first time for this season. The mower took a little coaxing to get started but ran well after it once started. Then on Saturday, I fertilized. It was a good decision as it's rained or rained/snowed everyday since then and the grass is liking it.

So much to learn, so little time.....
I have two riding mowers neither of which work. One needs welding that I can't do and the other needs to be torn apart to repair an issue with a hydraulic cylinder. I'm not sure if there is air in the lines or if the cylinder is simply bad. I have the $400 to replace the cylinder, but reluctant to spend it since I may very well have a pay cut at work for a while.
Won't be mowing in my yard for at least another 4-6 weeks, but I did prune the 3 wild apple trees I started from seed, blueberry bushes, and fertilized.
Have to take the snowtires off the cars next week.
But the redwings are back, and the juncos are congregating and singing their spring song, getting anxious to be moving on.
