It’s so good to see you again, D! How’s it going?
We had some contractor’s black plastic sheeting left over from the garage construction, so I spread that over the ground and *nothing* is growing beneath it. Landscaping fabric didn’t work as well, but large pieces of cardboard seemed to do the trick. Now, I’m weeding by hand and placing the cardboard under the landscaping fabric. We have cute little baby cantaloupes and watermelons, and I’ve put cardboard under them, too. In the desert, I think I parked the melons on top of straw, but that was a long, long time ago. I spotted a bunny hot-footing it out of the backyard this A.M., but there are two new fox-mothers in the neighborhood, so who knows which way the situation will go?
My money is on the fox! :)
Work is slowing down now for the season; I could use a breather! Still dating Mr. Wonderful (over a year now) and am enjoying every minute of it. So wonderful to be in a relationship with a NORMAL person, LOL!
My garden is doing great despite us being 3” behind in rainfall. Watered established trees and shrubs this morning; they’re really ailing! Of course THIS is the year I decided to add a whole new treeline to the front of my property - totin’ LOTS of water out there, but it’ll be worth it when it all fills in.
Been working on my house and de-cluttering. Have all the parts bought for a kitchen upgrade, but that’s going to have to be a winter project when Mr. Wonderful is more available to help me. Life. Is. Good. :)
