The problem with growing anything at ground level in our tiny backyard is that the dog can get to it and pee on it, which he will do, no question. It doesn't seem like being subjected to daily dog business could be good for a baby garden. But maybe I'm wrong about that.)
Peeing isn't so much the issue (at least til now, thanks) as consumption. Darb has and will pull a zucchini plant right out if the dirt and eat it.
One of my plans for the cottage is to plant a big patch of sunflowers. Partly because I love them, but also so maybe all the ones in my neighborhood can get a break. They don't fare so well in the game of Plants v Darbys.
My current notion is some flowering groundcover thing, maybe in the front as well as the back? (Along with whatever container I use for vegetables....) Or I could just fix up the grass in front. Or do nothing! We shall see.
Timelies all!
Yay Brenda!
Yet another snow day here. End, winter, end!
I am pro flowering groundcover, generally.
Sorry. we had an earthquake (clearly). I am excited about the raised beds. I am never actually going to assemble them unless they come in some sort of easy system. Also, I am irresponsible and need an drip irrigation system. So this all seems perfect for me!
How the heck did I miss the earthquake? I was up and about but felt nothing.
Pix, it was in Westwood. Not a lot of shaking here (just a little) but way more rumbling.
We have rented a plot in a community garden for this summer. Hoping we'll be more successful growing veggies there than we are at home!
I'm working at home today. I just can't even try with the stuff out there. Fortunately, Bob is in town this week and he took care of morning dog walking and shoveling/cleaning off the cars. I'll have to go out eventually because we had a bunch of baked goods leftover from a fundraising event we had last night and I left them in the car with the intention of bringing them into work today. I need to go liberate a rice krispie treat!
The earthquake is all over Twitter. Here we just have more lousy snow.
