A Mulching Limerick
Once upon a time there were some boxwoods of green. Who’s garden bed beneath was rather lean. :( So newspaper blankets they came, and perhaps a bit of mulch to tame, Leaving a landscape deterring future weeds and a lovely scene! … How do you prevent weeds from growing in your garden?

Planning a garden of my own in Texas
Lately I’ve been obsessed errr… um… distracted by ideas for our garden next year. The past few years while living in Germany, I’ve had the pleasure of growing vegetables on our balcony… And helping to create the first Community Garden in Europe… But now that I have a yard of my own, my list is [...]
