So uh...yea. I don't have motivation to write anything. I need some topics. Lisa has been asking about our yard so yea...it is a big crap mine. It is HUGE and overgrown and really looks horrendous. The weekend we got back from Atlanta we had to hack the whole yard down. The grass was up to our knees, the weeds had overtaken every single flower bed, the caterpillars ate through our lush, beautiful passion fruit vine that covers the entire front of our garage (but they did leave behind a trail of beautiful butterflies that are all over), and an amazing amount of weeds (TALL TALL weeds) choked our garden beds so that you couldn't even see the soil.
Oh, and the craziest of all is that our circular driveway got overtaken by weeds and turned itself into a single lane driveway. We would have lost the entire driveway if Carol and Greg hadn't of moved our cars once or twice a week to make it look like we were there. Them driving just a few feet on the driveway kept a little bit of weeds from popping up. We decided to just go with it and let the grass take over on the front of the house and ditch the whole circular drive thing. It's looking good so far, I think it opens up the front of our house some.
I went to Home Depot yesterday to pick up seeds to start my Fall garden. I got carrots, 3 lettuce mixes, cucumbers, onions, bush beans and beets. I really want to try and plant them in two week windows, so I can try and prolong the growing season.
I want to badly to have a huge, lush, overflowing garden. It never quite works out that way. I wish I knew what I could do to improve it. I brought back a huge bag of seaweed from the beach and added that into my compost. I wanted an extra bag so I could use that to mulch with.
