Mulching Part I

Saturday, March 23: started mulching
 
Sunday, March 24: did some more. After about five hours total work there is a little dent in the full-size (5 square yard) load.
  
Monday, March 25: seeded tomatoes and seeds from a flower (need to look up what exactly it is) that I collected from a garden around the hotel where we stayed while visiting Zion National Park last summer.

March catch-up

March 20: mulch delivered
March 17: seeded lettuce mix, caraway, arugula, parsley. Planted second part of sweet onions. Turned the soil in a few places.
March 10: cleaned up front yard. Planted pansies in planter on the porch and rhododendron in side yard. Planted broccoli, Brussel sprouts and about half of sweet onions bunch.

Digging up Spearmint

About 7 pm I decided to go out and dig a little bit the part between raspberry bush and where butterfly bush used to be. Spearmint has spread all over there and I need to get rid of it. Halfway thru I pulled up some perennial that I must have planted last fall. I have no recollection of it. Resolved to record things I do in the garden in more detail. Kept digging until it was too dark to see the roots I need to pick out.
