Hello, steemians and garden lovers!

"We've had early spring, yes, but what about second spring?" About 3 weeks ago, we had a week of nice, fairly warm spring weather, and then winter came back. It's still cold here. Today was the warmest day we've had in more than a week, and it was only in the low 40s F, definitely not garden weather. I took these pictures on April 6, you can see the snow still on the ground. ![DSCN6288.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV1Ve2qQUxC1zassuFMjLWUaqitC34KaB2KQxBD48yrW2/DSCN6288.JPG) ![DSCN6289.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdn2zw5nEqHJwFTQX4n8VUreWmxMQm783RQtHrSzxxjBc/DSCN6289.JPG) Those pictures were taken on a fairly nice early spring day. A few days later, on the 9th, a lot of the snow had melted, with the temperature in the low 50s F. I decided to do a bit of clean up work in the garden. I started by cleaning up the far end of the garden. The snow on the garden had finally melted away. ![DSCN6297.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSuiNmR4mNmYrcqfcwjWRXgkLQzwM78RDR3Q9GNq5ehaj/DSCN6297.JPG) First I moved some of the boards off the garden, and then I decided to take down the bean trellis from last year. In this picture, I had everything removed from the trellis posts. ![DSCN6298.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP6wc1dv967hohKbhRDdFbGXoXH67ur24yd3U5E3mdxVV/DSCN6298.JPG) The ground was soft enough that I was able to pull out the trellis posts. They're steel posts with wood attached to them, so I can move them easily every year. ![DSCN6300.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSanQKYxvL6M31w9daH2aNoyg47KdHbMcFKv8npJgJ4KT/DSCN6300.JPG) I had previously decided to move the compost pile to this end of the garden when it got warm enough, so that's what I started on next. I moved the little fence around the compost pile, and then moved the compost. ![DSCN6301.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXpWgeZzKU1sQB5m6DiQgL77hw1qTjCa31u97F3q4KbJJ/DSCN6301.JPG) The boards are on the ground to walk on so I don't get mud everywhere. ![DSCN6302.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ3LiEUjkWCa9qJYv6kfYnjUeHFrg9vWcHvDcRNiHkaMq/DSCN6302.JPG) I still have a pretty big pile of shredded leaves from last fall, I want to eventually move a lot of that to the compost pile. ![DSCN6303.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQQvtSPcz5FfZjWq4ELySSyt46LUPY61NUwrTwVv7J2cR/DSCN6303.JPG) As soon as we start getting some warmer weather again, I'll be continuing the clean up in this garden. I can't start planting until the end of May because of possible frost, so I have several weeks to get the rest of the prep work done. That's all I have for this post, thanks for checking it out! ![amber_yooper.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYXnPp6ULCXcQJDkiNBjKiVn1JMGzTgjJSGF8ezUfdKz3/amber_yooper.png)
