landscaping plastic. Cow manure, compost and cheap potting soil is my soil. I been using my wood chipper to go around the planters. I need some good June bearing strawberry plants and it should provide strawberries for the next three years.

for a Saturday (4/1) cleanup at the main garden I manage. The other one is already in good shape and growing garlic, onions, leeks, turnips.

Super people. Lots of fun working with the kids.

We replaced deteriorated boards, dug up weeds, cleared pathways, hauled new soil to the beds, unloaded wood and concrete corners. We had a few handyman types who repaired some minor issues.

I already saw one of my "buddy bumblebees." I swear, this guy greets me in the spring. I read the other day that bees are sentient, so maybe so? Don't know their longevity.

Another spring thing that used to happen but hasn't for the last two years is that I think I had a crow who brought me a present. He/she would leave an orange or some other type of bright object for me up at my own garden, which is up the mountain. He did this for years! So disappointed my crow friend is gone.

I'm gonna' go take a photo of some fledging plants and post it in a few minutes.

on edit, I took the pics but postimages has a technical snafu right now. BBL.



I have a few hundred heads of black seeded Simpson going.



Leeks, scallions, garlic, shallots. All will be moved to other beds and replaced with flowers. The pictures shows a few of my elevated raised beds, of which I have six.
