Picked up fallen twigs and looked for any weeds.

Well, it's a great day to be inside. It's 18 degrees now with a wind chill of 9. I know that the yankees that lurk here think that this is not cold, but they have more winter cloths. We have cutoff and flip-flops. MY Savvy Soil soil test kit came in the mail yesterday. It will wait.

Hand pulled weeds in the yard.
@Tellycoleman - Impressed you were able to pull weeds. I went out to a brand new landscaped be I put in late summer/early fall (started a cut flower garden for my wife) to try to pull some weeds. It was fruitless....ground was frozen, everything I tried to pull just snapped off at soil level. Since it was a bed, went and got a hoe and got a few out that way. Can't imagine what actually living up north is like
Hand plucked a few poa sprouts, and twigs from the kids bringing more junk into the yard.
I'm over winter and actually miss cutting grass already. My yard despite the snow and ice, hasn't gone completely dormant in a few spots that get some sun. Yard stayed way greener later this year after cutting lower!

Taking down the rest of my Christmas lights.

Trimmed some shrubs and rose bushes. Got the soil sample sent off in the mail. I'm so over winter. But one more month and we'll be thinking Prodiamine.

Stepped off some distances to move sprinkler heads. I have 3 sprinklers along my south fence and never have been happy about the coverage. I plan to take the middle one out and add 2 equally spaced to make 4 sprinklers along the fence.

Applied prodiamine Saturday. First time I've done it myself and it was a pretty simple process. Much better than paying somone $75-100 to spray the $2 worth chemical.

Yesterday, I spot sprayed a few weeds that have broken thru - mostly around the edges and along the back fence.
Today, I put down calcium sulfate (gypsum) at 24 lbs/k. My soil test showed that my pH is 6.55, but my level of sodium is high. So I am using gypsum this year rather than lime as it helps keep the red clay loose and reduces the salt level without affecting pH. I will also need to add some magnesium and always iron. A couple of more weeks and it's prodiamine time.

Today I vacuumed up all my leaves with the Honda mower, and then I used the Chapin 24v push sprayer to put down my spring pre-emergent.
Come on spring green-up!
