My neighbor across the street is the most knowledgeable perennial gardener I have ever met. I saw here cleaning off her flower beds a couple weeks ago - so I figured I could start on mine. I usually hire help to do it - but the weather has been so nice, I have been able to do just a small area almost every day. A couple more days and I will be all done, and ready for pre-emergent and fertilizer.
I am zone 5b-6a depending on what version of the USDA map you go by. Trees are starting to leaf out, daffodils starting to bloom (the earliest ones) Crocus are blooming, pulmonaria have buds and hellebores are in full bloom.
