Another one under my 2015 belt! I started right after I got home; seeded the bed, shredded what was shreddable from the pile beside the bed, spread it over the seeds, took the unshreddables to compost, trimmed the grass I couldn’t mow last Thursday because there was a pile beside the bed, spread a light covering of cypress mulch (still took almost 4 bags), and soaked with water.

I also put some annual rosemallow in the swampy bed, cheated a little by putting a few in the spot I’d missed in the Honeysuckle Horseshoe, mulched those, watered all of my seeds/seedlings except milkweed. Whew. Finished at 1930h. I’d be afraid to calculate the hours I’ve put into the Bistro!

EDIT: P returned the air rifle and got a less powerful one that we hope won’t be quite so loud. D wouldn’t give a damn if we had a howitzer, but E&A would have the police here, telling them there was automatic gunfire and possibly explosives. Yes, from a single-shot air rifle. They need to be in charge of an HOA somewhere that people are told what colours they can use for house siding, and what flowers they can plant, and that they can’t park their cars anywhere but the driveway or garage.
