We're having a few sunny days (yesterday was cold and sunny; today is warm and sunny), and things have started growing.
Yes, it's lawn-mowing season already. I spent a chunk of yesterday dealing with large areas that definitely needed mowing, while dosing up on transdermal vitamin D. Other areas in need of mowing are obstructed by little piles of cut brush, so today I consolidated some of those into the beginning of a larger pile, and now my back and legs are tired from all the picking up of ground-level stuff.
The lower portions of the Annex are currently off limits for the mower on account of swampiness, but I got the upper walkways mowed.
Tomorrow, I'll give the New Victory Garden a second pass with the tiller; it's probably still a little wet for that today (though not, at least, swampy). Then more brush-pile consolidation. I should probably put on sunscreen for that.
Weed-barrier fabric is on order, expected to arrive around the end of the month. I figure I'll apply the tiller one last time just before applying the covering. Some seeds are started in the basement; I need to figure out what else gets started indoors.
