The first really busy early spring day

Busy, busy, busy. My order of leaf mulch was delivered the other day and I started to distribute over the garden today. The front yard always gets taken care first.
Three or more years ago I would get my mulch late May or early June, mostly because I wold not plan in advance enough. Last two years it came in April, this is the first year when I got it in March. I'm well ahead of myself, but still felt I did not do enough mulching today.

By the way, I always get leaf mulch. It feels lighter and more natural to me. It also composts better and eventually enriches the soil.

It's been very nice and warm. Some plants have started to bloom and some others are not far behind.
Daffodils

And more daffodils

Blooming willow

Virginia bluebells will bloom soon. BTW, does anyone would like this plant in their garden? I have some volunteers.

My backyard. Lots to do...

Hyacinths will also bloom soon
Lots of seeding and planting planned for tomorrow. I guess the mulch pile will have to wait until the next week.
