May In Chicago

Yesterday was the first day of May in Chicago. It was a beautiful sunny spring day and was just perfect for working in the garden. We finished the first mowing of the year and got some more of the Spring cleaning done. The turf grass over seeding to fix winter damage will be complete by next week and then on to the rooftop garden.

It is really a late start this year to get the grounds in shape partly due to the late start of spring partly due to the long winter. As hard as you try sometimes it is not easy to stay on schedule. The main thing is to just keep moving forward. In the end the majority of the work gets finished and you still have a list to tackle as time permits.

I have a major parking lot problem right now in one of the lots the driveway is collapsing due to an underground washout. This has been eating up a lot of time meeting with contractors and trying to determine the cause. Next week we will be peeling off the asphalt and trying to pinpoint the cause. These kind of problems are typical of running a grounds department at a large facility and just another bump in the road ” no pun intended ” when trying to get your regular work schedule accomplished.

Have A great week and get out in your gardens for a bit. It will make you smile!
