A list of dead google products and services and why they died.
The raspberry patch. Unusually weeded, but this really is the only time to get in there. You can see how I’m starting to hoop the canes. Some canes have rooted, some went dormant and still need rocks to hold them down. I’ll be curious to see how that works out as I go through the summer. This bed needs some soil amending too.
And somewhere in there are the only surviving yellow Iris. They got transplanted from my mom’s garden and we placed them a few places around our yard but somehow one got stuck here and now it’s the lone survivor. I hope to better encourage it this year.
Spring Cleanup: Get Your Garden Ready for the Season
As winter fades, it’s time to refresh your garden for a season of growth. A proper spring cleanup ensures healthier plants, a beautiful landscape, and a vibrant outdoor space.
Clear & Prep
Start by removing debris, dead plants, and weeds. Trim overgrown shrubs, prune dead branches, and aerate compacted soil to improve drainage. Adding compost or fertilizer replenishes essential nutrients for strong plant growth.
Refresh Garden Beds
Define garden edges for a polished look and spread fresh mulch to retain moisture, prevent weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Early spring is also great for planting hardy perennials and seasonal blooms.
Maintain Hardscapes & Lawns
Power wash patios, repair pathways, and clean garden tools. Rake and dethatch your lawn, overseed bare patches, and give it a first mow once it reaches 3 inches.
Set Up for Low Maintenance
Install drip irrigation for efficient watering, choose low-maintenance plants, and keep tools sharp and ready. Small efforts now ensure a thriving garden all season long!

The Yard Cleanup
Unless it snows, winter can be very ugly! Then spring starts sprouting, and I get to work trying to make it lovely again!! The entire yard is cleaned up and here’s a few shots of the final cleanup. The rose garden and northeast yard are full of leaves, maple tree limbs, and all of Sadie’s bones that she chewed on all winter fill the space. I’ve trimmed the fall growth from the roses and the…

Spring Update
Currently on hiatus for the BnH project.
Sorry, folks, I'm working through things, including an injury that most people are often skeptical of. (Hell, I don't believe it myself.... how many people can claim a flying sledgehammer to the knee....but I digress.)
Doing a few minor changes. Just updated my name to be closer to my original name and renamed this to the Sketch-Journal.
New works and posts will be trickling in. This is C. Lee, signing out.
Transplanting Asparagus-Part Two
This is a continuation of a previous post. The mass of asparagus roots has been dug up and transplanted and moved. Hubby helped me dig it up because I couldn’t get the shovel to go in the ground at this spot. He dug up 14 large clumps and I dug the holes inside the garden fence for their new home. I’ve never seen such a tangled mass of roots in one little two-foot space. Last year it produced…
