compost in action

We can add to the composting bin again . . . the 'mature' stuff is now in a rectangular blue plastic box next to the bin and ready to be used.

Rain! Hooray!

So sweet that it rained! Now I can have my second cup of coffee...

wisteria hysteria

The woman who gardens next door says that it should be pruned only after the first frost or else it will not flower. She added that 'only men should prune, not women, or no flowers'.

watering & mowing

Watering will be a constant need when nature doesn't cooperate, especially when it gets hot.

Back yard: There are hose boxes in the back yard: the faucet on the 17th Street side is pretty straight forward; the one towards 18th requires that we first turn the water on from inside the basement, and then the outside (and then all off.)

Front yard: There is a faucet with hose/sprinkler next to the front door that can be used for the three beds closest to it.

Side yard: Another hose with sprinkler/timer need dragging around, setting timer, etc

You may have noticed that the lawn was mowed last weekend, thanks to Kerwin and the friendly guy who seems to be working with him these days.
