So we've had a crazy winter this year in Chicagoland - barely any snow and hitting as high as 71 yesterday! Actually, all week long it's going to be in the 50's-70's! As you can expect, the spring bulbs are really starting to bust out of the ground. The daffodils, muscari and even tulips have emerged and the hydrangeas have budded out pretty nicely.
This year's major garden project it to get the backyard grass back under control. We had a nasty grub problem 2 years ago and last year we treated the entire yard with milky spore. We are hoping that helps get things under control this year.
Unfortunatly, over the past 2 years the plethora of squirrels on our block decided to use our yard as their nut-burial ground so about 1/4 of our backyard lawn is bare from where they dug and re-dug. I'm sure the raccoons are guilty too of some of the damage....but I blame the squirrels the most!
A few hilights from last year:
