I have a big garden so I am frequently overwhelmed by it. But I reminded myself recently just how much can be done in tiny spurts of time. (I re-seeded my front lawn in the time it took my kindergartner to get his shoes on and get in the car to go to school). It had me thinking.what else can I do in mere minutes.
Here are 5 more ideas (besides re-seeding and over-seeding grassy ares) that you can do very quickly.
1) Clean out a container, a raised bed, or anything you didnt quite get to last year. Its all dead it comes away with the quickest of swipes. Leave your garden gloves by the door so you are ready to go and you wont have to wash up afterwards.
2) Turn the compost heap I like to do this when I am just back from a walk with the dog, or yogaI am already needing a little shower, I am all warmed up why not add 5 more minutes of physical exercise.
3) Prune something pick the thing that most recently finished blooming, odds are it is a good time to prune it.
4) Pick a Bouquet You know whatever is blooming.
5) Clean the ashes out of the firepit or fire bowl.and if you only have a grill.clean the grill. It will be ready for the next time you want to use it.
