Little Fox master gardener????

 This is the year!  Yes, this is the year that I finally get my staff to control some of the weeds in the yard.

First up, you can see how they have repurposed some Amazon.com boxes as a weed barrier.  Now, I am just waiting on the tree mulch delivery.  The problem is that you never know when the tree clippings are coming, being that you have to wait for an arborist to have a load in your neighborhood that they want to drop off.  I have to be patient.

Pulling these weeds was yesterdays task.  There are still more to pull.

And more....you can see I am amassing quite the collection of weeds.  This little fox has been busy supervising the humans, how do Jerry and Ben do it? For that matter, how does Sandy get his people to do all this work?  My roommate is threatening a strike.
Strike breaker Sequoia has come out to refocus the roommate on their task at hand.
Time to start planing the garden.  First up are the free seeds from the colleges extension department.  Marigolds, more marigolds, snap peas and a 12 foot tall sunflower plant.  
Zuchinni, snap peas, California Poppies, and a hummingbird mix.
Perhaps....um....I might have gone overboard with the seeds.
In my defense, the seeds were buy one get one at half price (and/or free) and this little fox can't pass up a bargain.


According to the internet the last frost is coming up, April 11th.   It's almost time to start planting.

  5. ***cough*** don't tell J&B, but we are gardening too! Also trying snap peas this year... and only 2 zuccini plants... not 12... The cardboard works great for weed-control.
