In the garden, I've got carrots, sweet banana peppers, green peppers, lettuce, tomato, spaghetti squash, broccoli, cabbage, green beans, and onions......oh, and weeds. Didn't plant those. Ugh! To any other gardeners out there, if you haven't tried putting (3) layers of newspaper down and then mulching over the top, I'm sold on it...made a path down the middle of the garden as a walkway and haven't pulled one weed out of it yet. I did feel pretty silly putting newspaper down in my garden at first, but the results have been amazing. From what I hear, newspaper adds some nutrients to the soil too. Can't beat that. Gotta give a quick shout out to Tami and her dad for helping pull weeds.....couldn't tell the onions and carrots from the weeds a few days ago. I haven't found a passion for weed pulling yet.
I put up the fence and put in the stone and mulch. It was just grass/bare spots before. It has been nice knowing the dog is safe in the back yard. Check out the post dated "April 12: Yard Work - Take 1" to see some before/during pictures. Quite a nice change.
Around the deck was a lot of bare spots and on the side where all the plants are, there was just dirt and weeds. It has been very nice looking at the flowers.
