Resurrecting a very old thread to share what I'm doing and see what you're doing. We tilled two big garden patches in the backyard only to decide we didn't want to do it that way - no worries, the weeds are filling in nicely. We don't get our yard sprayed - it seemed to make the dog's feet itch years ago, so sometimes I do the vinegar/Epsom salt thing, but mostly not. We've settled on just 1 raised bed garden this year to see how it goes. We've planted tons of flowers. I had so many little pots in the garage, I have no idea why. So the Ogre built a shelf on the back of the fence and we planted flowers in every single one. Plus the flower bed, and many other pots of flowers scattered. I'm having so much fun planting, watering, pruning and I can't wait for tomato season. We planted 6 tomato plants, 6 broccoli, 6 Brussel sprouts, 3 onions, 2 squash, 1 banana pepper, and 2 romaine lettuce plants.
I've become a gardening nerd. I am only inside today because it's raining, and I miss seeing y'all. The rain is glorious. I'm going to grill steak in the rain in a couple of hours.
Here's how it looks at Chez Holly today.
