More gardening

One solution to the weeds that come up between the garden raised beds - turn the weeds green side down: Yup, it was more gardening this weekend. It's the important time of year for the yard - taking care that the plants get a good start does more for the garden than any work I do a month or two from now. I also mowed the lawns, and weeded out the garden beds themselves. That plus a number of hours working remotely ate the whole weekend. Oh, and we're solidly into the 80's with much higher humidity. Just lovely. *…

Mostly yard

Yup. This weekend, it was mostly yard work. Yesterday, while Marcia and LindaRose did a yard sale (which doesn't involve selling yards at all, oddly), I took the small gas tiller up the street, and tilled garden beds for a neighbor who just had back surgery and wasn't up to the task, yet. Then I hauled it back down here, and tilled some leaf compost into the one bed that needed more attention than just a shovel could provide.

Yard, Themes

This weekend, I was working in the yard. The garden beds, they are ready for plants: That, along with mowing the lawns, twice, and cleaning out all of the front flower beds, took up most of Friday and Saturday. Sunday was rest (or its best friend, immobility). * * * Theme update: The theme, it is currently a bit hideous, but now mobile friendly, due to changes in how Google search results will be ranked. Here's a useful link on the topic from Digital Trends. Expect more work on this over the coming days. * * * Tech. Sgt. Anthony…

Tiger Lilies

The tiger lilies are in full bloom right now. There's the sad, short ones around the perimeter, however ... those were cropped by deer roaming the neighborhood. Still, tiger lilies: Tiger Lilies - 2014
