Rainy Day
It is raining this morning so I can't work in the yard. That means I have some time to post pictures of the work we've done in the past 2 weeks.
Last week we worked on getting rid of the grass between the sidewalk and the street. In the small section we planted some native sedum. In the larger section we just put down cardboard and covered it with leaf mulch. We will plant some sedum there in the fall of next spring.
We also planted pineapple sage, sunflowers, and marigolds in the some of the raised beds. We also put some marigolds by the tomatoes. My wife had bought the sunflower and marigold seeds for an Earth Day project at school and didn't want them to go to waste.
We found a little snake friend in our compost bin.
The dogwood tree that we planted last year is just about done blooming. The front hostas are starting to come up as well.
On Saturday, I tilled parts of the side yard so that we could plant cucumbers, corn, and beans. This used up most of the remaining leaf mulch.
On Tuesday, we planted more herbs in the pizza garden. We planted summer savory, boxwood basil, and creeping rosemary.
We have another friend. A robin has built a nest outside one of our windows. The robins love it when we work in the yard because the come along after and eat the worms that we uncover. I guess this robin decide to live close to where the food is.
And finally, in the backyard, we put transplanted some hostas. We had some frog statues in the garage so we put them down between them.
