Spring yard cleaning is approximately 6-8 weeks of 12 hour hard labor days. This is an exhausting task, done while the gardens are in full bloom so at least it&#8217;s enjoyable. As tired as I might be, enjoying the spring blooms is while working is more than enjoyable. This week the lilac scent was so thick that it was a bit overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>Our weather seems to be perfect for plants, the gardens are flush with new growth.
