fiannaharpar and I, in the spirit of many other people it seems, accomplished quite the load of garden work this weekend. We went from weeds up to your knees everywhere to just needing a couple more bags of mulch to finish everything up. Here's a short recap- we bought that "30-yr fabric" to cover the plants we didn't want, and while we were putting that down we were chanting "DieDieDie!!" Then we'd put some mulch down from last year to keep it in place and move on. Where we needed to weed we did. We took all the big stones that were just sitting in the garden out, which included quite a bit of coal. Even with 100 ft of the fabric, it wasn't enough, so we had to get more today. Yesterday was all about defining where the garden was and wasn't gonna be. Today was about finishing setting the fabric down, mulching, and planting some things. Oh, we also painted the poles of the outdoor lamp posts hammered copper. They look cool.
So, I'm tired and sore, but we got a bunch done in two days. Tomorrow will be planting the veggies bought (two colors of bell pepper, three tomato plants, and cantaloupe) while I mow the yard, finally. Thank goodness tomorrow is not a work day.
