This is the first day that I put in some serious time gardening. I cleaned out the soil from last year's very small strip garden on the northwest edge of my foundation, eliminating the roots from ivy or bindweed or whatever that dreadful stuff is. I added a couple of buckets of compost and edged with the last of the branches from trimming Scot The Pine In Front. A little bark mulch topped it off.
I could grow peas here as I did last year, but I'd need a better system of strings for them to grow on - duct taping the string up fails! Perhaps I'll get use some small "Command" hooks.
Or I might go with pollinator-friendly flowers, which might be more fun for neighbors to look at. Perhaps a little lettuce or chard. So many choices!
