Well it's a rainy day in the neighbourhood so all I can do in the garden is admire it from my covered decks. The picture is of my garden last year. Yesterday I got some more plants planted in my rock garden and improved my steps down into my woodland garden. I also planted some Sweet Woodruff and some English Ivy. I'm hoping the ivy will grow up the trellis and help to cover the huge cement wall that borders one side of my yard.
Finally my little green house is in use. These kits are not always as easy to put together as they should be. My next big project for my yard will be to construct a netted structure to enclose my small patch of garden. I love the wildlife and neighbourhood cats that live and visit my yard but I don't love what they leave behind in what they perceive to be their large litter box.
I finally found something durable and easy to work with that should work quite nicely to delineate the squares in the square foot vegetable garden at my mothers. It's some white plastic edging for counters, I believe but should work quite nicely and last for years. The peas and radishes have made their appearance and the lettuce was just poking up out of the soil on Monday but with this rain things should really start to grow.
