DH also cleared away some of the vegetation that was growing around the back area of our little shed. This makes me breathe easier because it worried me about becoming a fire hazard. (I simply do not trust some of our neighbors. Case in point: one who can't figure out that you should glance over your yard before using a riding mower, so things don't get clogged and you have to stop to pull whatever it is out. I stopped counting him restarting his mower at 12 times the other night, in less than a half hour! Geesh!)
All of my planters are cleared up and ready to have my container veggies in them. DH bought me some bricks for Mother's Day to go around my smaller raised bed so I can cut down on the slugs and weeds growing next to it:
We also seem to have been invaded by little black spiders - not just a few, but hundreds of them. :( I know spiders can be good, but these are eating my strawberry plants! Any ideas on what to do to get rid of them? I suppose they are coming over from the neighbor's yard - their grass is quite high.
Next project is to make a walkway from the shed to the back deck. It's part of that sandy area, and nothing but weeds seem to grow in it anyways.

Gosh, I'm POOPED just reading about all that you are doing! It's a lot of work getting the yard ready for summer, isn't it?
I don't know what to do about the spiders. I would think you should get a praying mantis, but where? I have a cabillion babies in my yard, but I doubt they'd travel well. :(
Bummer. Maybe they'll all move on....
