@N F C we have a day of rain coming on Tues with some cold temps coming after that, but not any of that white stuff is expected. I have a few things to get done before Tues....cause I work much better in dry warmer temps than in the cold....:)

Do you usually get some snow in MS? Or maybe you usually get none. I've only passed through MS and never in winter.
 
You are going to be surprised, but i love the before pictures! I love the jungle look. I planted tons of plants in our oversized garden in FL. Vines on the fences, bougainvillia, trees...etc. Tarzan would have loved it. Husband hated it and was always whacking everything back. He loves manicured and tidy. I am the wild child.

Hey everyone .. posting at the end of what was a huge day!

I started out edging and mowing. Then I started in on one of the remaining garden beds I hadn't tackled yet. When that was done, moved on to another. Got so much done! I ache and I am tired and I am looking forward to Bourbon O’clock in about 60 minutes :p I have no idea how much water I drank but I know it was a lot cos it was HOT out there!

Anyways, just some photos from today to share. Just a smidgen of what I accomplished.

Reminder .. the before, after the guy had come in with the mini excavator and denutted the palms:

Today after mowing my new grass for the first time. Still some bare patches but the grass is young yet:

In case you forgot, what the above looked like at the very beginning:

Thought it was about time I shared one of the run .. pretty good size for 5 bantams and a nice shady spot. Still not completely finished though:

The garden bed before. I saved and potted the ferns for putting around the ponds when they are finished:

After. Sadly I ran out of mulch and need to put down some more. I saved the purple flower and popped it in a pot. The plan here is to add some potted plants. I prefer potted because it conserves water and it is also easier to manage the weeds around pots:

For the first time in months I am starting to feel like I am winning and I am pleased with the results. I was chatting to my neighbour and she mentioned that a few people had commented on how nice the garden was starting to look and also that considering I am doing most of it my myself, an achievement to be proud of which was not only nice of her to say, but made me ache just that little bit less ;)

We do from time to time, but it usually is only a couple of inches and is only around for a day or so....we have had 6" before for 3-4days, but that isn't normal...it mainly falls on warm ground and melts rather quickly....ice is a more common occurrance and makes things a bit difficult to endure....:)

You're right, ice is worse than snow. At least you can usually drive on snow, not so easy to do on ice. And ice is a lot harder to clear off the windshield.
