Buried cardboard takes about 6 weeks to decompose. On top of the surface it will sit for months. I KNOW this bc I staged a cardboard pizza box by my side door steps to make it into a burial. Never got there, still intact. I left it there bc I like to throw out my kitchen garbage bags there...

I see some narcissus breaking through in the front beds. The rest can't be far behind.

It is SOOOOO much easier to train a puppy when you have a trained dog already in the house. This time around I don't, and I run into weird issues. Tegan (8mo) hasn't had any accidents in almost a full month, but she cues with her paws now to go outside but doesn't do anything. Today alone, 6...

Companion planting for squashes. 1) nasturtium 2) marigolds 3) radish 4) mint 5) dill 6) Blue Hubbard Squash, plant a few weeks before zucchini When full of bugs, chop it at the base and burn. THAT would be fun for me.
