I hate those coily bastards.  I had a bed where several of those broke and they just stuck in the back something fierce.

I had my deck done last year, so don't need to worry about that for a while.

Spring is already here so I've already taken care of some spring crap... the apple trees are pruned and I don't think I need to prune the peach tree, so pruning should be done.  Got to do something about the 'garden' along my side walkway though, because it looks like a freaking jungle due to my extreme neglect. :)

I also may clear out a space in the woods to plant a pawpaw patch in.

My sister's having problems with very old french doors that surround 3/4ths of their breakfast nook, leaking water into the basement.  Brother-in-law doesn't want to replace them, since it's around a 40K bill.
I mentioned an alternative like, you know, actual real walls with windows instead.  Looked at me like I was crazy.   But what the hell do I know.

If we are being serious on the subject of doors. The style of French doors would not fit my house, nor my budget.

Put a fence around my garden to keep critters out. Bury the bottom about a foot deep to discourage burrowers, and keep the top loose to discourage climbers. Last year wood chucks got most of my corn. We did trap the chuck though, along with a couple possums but I don't think they eat the veggies.

Roto-till the garden, put down my irrigation lines and plant, beginning in mid-May or later. Auto irrigation is very handy even on my relatively small backyard garden.

Paint the clothesline posts.

Paint the cellar bulkhead outer doors.

Maybe rebuild the outside window sills around the cellar windows.
