The weather here has been swinging back and forth. There were some great weather days last week and I started the spring cleanup. I'm mostly raking out accumulated fall leaves and cutting off ratty hellebores leaves. I'm also making an effort to confirm cultivar ids as things bloom and get new plant markers in place. I've tried various methods over the years that just don't stay in place for very long. Now I'm using slate garden markers and am crossing my fingers that this will work better. So far I've done the snowdrops and early blooming daffodils. I squeezed in two more days over the weekend before it got cold again on Monday. Very chilly day temps and down at the freezing or below freezing mark overnights. Doubt there will be any good weather gardening days for most of the week.
