Name: Toni Denver Metro (Zone 5a) Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
I just started my cleanup in my iris bed in the front on Sunday (after raking about 2 tons of river rock.. gaw do I hate raking rock). This Sunday, depending on wind, I'll probably go & start cleaning up the DL bed and ripping out the last section of grass for more DLs. LOLLL I won't be trimming any of my roses for another month, though. Downtown the lilacs are starting to leaf out, but out in the plains where I am, everything's still waiting. I'm usually 2-3 weeks behind downtown and an entire zone different (downtown Denver is zone 6, I'm zone 5 'cuz I'm also almost a full 1000 feet higher up, too.). Can't wait! With the snows we got this year I've found that I'm going to have to renew most of my mulch.. a lot of it has decayed, which is just fine by me because I definitely could use the good nutrients in the crap.. er, soil I have.
