Summer Cleaning Plan: Week 2

[momof4]

I'm going to focus on the front yard and flowerbeds this week. Mother's Day is the guide for our area to plant annuals and such without fear of frost. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and mid 70's so I'm hoping to get the majority of this week's list done then.
I was able to get a few things done this afternoon. Hopefully I can check off the rest over the weekend.
Got a little more done, but we ended up with rain at all the wrong times this week!
[] trim dead branches, etc.
[X] trim bushes
[X] rake out beds
[X] edge beds
[X] plan perennial bed around mailbox and lampost
[\] plant annuals in front bed
[X] plant annuals in containers for front steps
[X] plan/research something (perennials &/or shrubs) for side of garage
[X] purchase ornamental tree for corner by dining room window
[] mulch
