Lengthy To-Do List
Here is what is currently on my garden to-do list (in no particular order). Some of these tasks were completed a couple weeks ago (like #6, 7, and 8), some will happen this weekend (#1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 22, and 26, hopefully), and some I've been putting off for weeks (namely #19 and 30) .
