Hello,
Because of the recent rain, Leroy and I
got out early and weeded our front yard garden. The hardest part was carefully
lifting the netting and wires. Some of the marigolds had grown through the netting
so those flowers are now gone, but the plant remains to produce more. The netting
is back in place protecting the produce from squirrels. We also weeded in the
sidewalk in front of the house and the sidewalk of one of the neighbors. We
have to get this neighborhood in shape. One of the older neighbors has many
rogue trees growing in their hedge. I wish that I would see them outside
sometime and I would offer to get rid of those trees. I can’t imagine they
really want them there crowding out the hedge.
After weeding the garden and the
sidewalk we did some more weeding by the side of the house. I am quite pleased
with it all.
Our landlords take us to the airport
when it is too early for the bus. They did not want to be paid for this so I
told them we would barter. That appealed to them so this is not just sheer generosity
on our part. It helps both of us because as nearly as I can determine neither
of them is excited to weed. Last night Leroy cleaned out some gutters on the
house. They have bought two large, or at least they seem large, rain barrels.
That will be great for the watering task.
Tonight there is a work night in the
community garden. We have a large heap of compost that needs to be spread out
to nourish more of the space. It looks cloudy now, but I hope for no rain.
I thought our garden in the front
looks so good that I had Leroy take pictures of me and the garden posting them
on Facebook as my cover picture and my profile picture for the world to see. Check
me out.
Paula
