Here's a way to tell if winter has wreaked havoc on your outdoor trim. Poke the wood gently with a screwdriver. If it feels soft (or goes all the way through the surface), it's time for repairs. Call a professional or try it yourself, if you have the tools and skills! Spring home repairs, complete!
Keeping a journal helps you track your life. Detail is important. Instead of "I planted flowers in the yard," say, "I planted 26 varieties of flowers, including Shasta daisies, purple asters, and yellow daylilies." More interesting? You bet!
If you like to sew, it's time to move away from the Universal needle. It's part Ball Point and Sharp needle and does neither application especially well. If you like to quilt, a Quilting needle plunges through multiple layers of fabric with ease. Microtex needles are especially sharp for neatly piercing challenging fabrics. Then there's Jeans needles (obvious), Leather (also obvious), and the Ball Point (great for knits). Pull out your machine and sew away!
If seedlings are spindly, they need tossed. They likely didn't get what they needed and will not perform well in the coming months. Try again or visit the nursery for transplants. You still have time before the growing season hits full tilt!
