Don’t you just love the Watershed Post?!? (and Spring :-)

I do.  I love the Watershed Post.  What a great resource to keep up with the issues and goings on in our region and to get real-time self-generated community news, interactions and reactions.  It is informative and great fun.  I don’t know why it took me so long to get signed up and to start chiming in with my own news, shameless self promotion and general musings.

I also love spring! (for the most part).  It is a beautiful and exciting time even though it means the onslaught of a crazy amount of work for me and Zone4 Landscapes.

For me personally, I have to get out in my own garden and cut back all of the herbaceous carcasses (seedheads you know) that I leave for the birds to enjoy over the winter and the masses of ornamental grasses that I love so much.  It is also a time for pruning trees and shrubs, but not the ones that bloom on last year's wood (lilacs, wiegela, nine barks, mock orange, rhododenrons, azaleas, magnolias, etc.), leave these until after they bloom.  The list goes on and it too extensive for this first post!

For Zone4, we do all of the same things for our design clients.  Zone4 is primarily a design firm but we do maintenance, including spring cleanups, for gardens that we design and install.
