Outdoor To-Do List

Interesting to nobody but me, I'm sure, but perhaps posting these online will keep me honest.

• Finish front gardens
• transplant 4 ferns
• dig up 1 dead fern
• dig and divide black-eyed Susans
• Clean up porch
• Turn compost
• Harvest tomatillos (for salsa and whatever else I can think up)
• Keep harvesting baby cukes for cornichons
• Mow
• Price out wood chipper rental for a day (we have scads of small branches and brush around - enough that it may be cost-effective for us to make our own mulch for next year)
• Clear out old veg garden and move rocks to make a fire circle
• Clean gutters (a job that probably should be at the top of the list, but which fills me with fear and loathing)

There are probably several items missing, but it's a start at least. On rainy days I can work on planning out the expanded veg garden for next year. Come fall, I won't be able to do as much as I'd like, but I'd like to get some of the raised bed frames built before spring arrives and I want to start filling them.
