Yah, that workbench=clutter magnet is an issue for me too. In fact, my entire garage definitely has to finally get organized this Spring. I keep telling myself that. I haven't done much with it since moving in except stick more stuff in there, and it has gotten to where it's bugging even me now.
But you are inspiring me!
For some reason the cold weather has gotten to me a bit this year. I had projects lined up for the winter but sort of got into hibernation mode or something.
I think it has just been so cold and snowy for so long. I'm definitely solar-powered.
I have several Hib sprouts that are up and going strong and the rest haven't done a lot yet. I can see several getting ready to poke through. The seeds were all given to me by other people so I'm hoping they are mostly viable. I want about 8-10 to plant out along the property line with a neighbor and I'm hoping for some to come true from seed so I'll have some color. But I do love white too ... especially on a hot summer day. I just like Hibs period.
Sounds like your yard has come through the winter well. Mine too as far as I can tell right now. I'm waiting to see about my EE, hardy musa, and crinum that I planted last Fall. I think the crinum will be fine since those are such hardy buggers. I have my fingers crossed for the others ... especially the things that were newly planted last year and this is their first winter. I'm hoping the Farmers' Almanac is correct and there will only be one period of snow this month and we're done for the year. None would be just fine too. Enough already.
Do you grow many houseplants?
