That's the hard part - to get out there and do it... I have yet to start. :-)

Timely advice, I’ve been gardening throughout the winter, putting my tools away hurriedly when ‘rained off’ - they definitely need some TLC!

Thank you for the reminder! Something I always should do, but don’t always get ‘to’ do!
