Chris and I have spent time over the past month trimming back bushes and grasses (especially those that were way out of control last summer). Chris put down some Preen Weed Preventer. It rained the next night which apparently is perfect timing.
On Saturday we did some weeding (the Preen probably should have gone down a month ago probably), I finished cutting back some shrubs, and Chris did the first mowing of the season.
The grass should start to green up pretty quickly, especially since it is supposed to rain a lot next week.
The pear tree has started to blossom and it is great to see some trees turning green already.
