May 23

Neener neener neener

I pulled mine yesterday in 4 more beds. I am awaiting the rain and I will then put in yellow zucchini, acorn squash, and more lettuce, kale, and tomatoes. Seeds on some, like the zucchini and cuke.

Then I will seal in the water with flattened cardboard to prevent weeds. After that a big pile of straw.

This is in an area with intense sun, so it works really well.

I think your deck looks really nice with the cleaned railings.
