Picked yellow squash, green beans, some initial bell peppers to help mature the plants. Cut chard, pulled radishes. Put out pine bark mulch on the blackberries, fertilized, watered, picked up sticks. Watered some ornamentals.

I only have one teensy tidal wave of a concern. If I make it too mucky, where it does not drain well, then a classic problem also found in hugelkulture of hillsides can occur. Water can build up if not allowed to drain, and since it is so heavy it can burst a dam. It is best if nothing of value...

It belongs to these guys. But I have a heavy duty sewing machine and fully intend to use weed fabric in a way for which it is not intended. https://www.flexmse.com/vegetated-retaining-wall/ https://www.flexmse.com/photo-gallery/

10,000 Times! Remember frequency requires stress!

I use some odd sized plots for onions this year and went out and weeded them the other day. They are just big enough to stretch me. I came in with quads that felt jelly.

My wife had a need to organize curbside plantings at various intersections around town. I heard the same comment. How some ladies can bend at the waist and my grandfather could squat in the garden for hours kills me. I am good at neither so I wear brown pants.

Kale Konfusion happens too!

My dogs live on chicken jerky. It is not a bad lifestyle.

I thinned green beans and planted 3 sun sugar cherry tomatoes and 3 juliets.

It is not invasive, it is just really happy and you should ask why your other plants are simply not as excited?

Already? It seems like they just let me out of jail yesterday!

I grabbed a roll of fence wire and a couple of bundles of T-posts for the garden expansion. And cat treats. I put out about 130lbs of 13-13-13 around a lot of plants. I hope it helps the recovery from the hard freeze so late in the year.

I would say don't encourage her but sausage is ok by me. What kind? Italian? Pork?

They orginally covered the pathways and right up to the plants which really minimized weeding and they left it through winter and green up.

My elderly neighbor (94) was very excited to tell me that when his gardener took up the strips of black weed cloth he had them install last year that nothing was left under them. Around here that means nutsedge too.

Yes.

Iron leaf seeds are coming. You never could have convinced me that a cold snap would have produced this response but then it was a hard snap for us and there are so many of these pods now.
