April is almost over

I can't believe it's the end of April already! I have been diligently working on the house and garden, so I haven't had time to update here. I have lots to share from out trip to Italy. I was so amazed by the container gardening there. I'm trying to catch up in the garden, so here's a quick update:

• cleaned debris
• weeded
• thinned out irises, coral bells, lilies, hostas, autumn joy
• planted tons of peas outdoors
• planted english cucumbers and lemon cucumbers
• planted yellow squash
• still tending to my seedlings
• expanded the garden area
• set up stakes and trellises
