Ah, The Weather From freezing one day to really-really warm the next. No wonder I live here. The plants all survived, although I'm sure they looked funny covered in tarp and plastic. I'm glad noone stole the blankets. The radishes are up, the lettuce is up, and the spinach ... Sad. There just aren't any nutrients in the soil, even with the three bags of compost and humus and topsoil. So that area of the yard is going to be a "not right now" project. The dogs have managed to kill most of the grass in the side yard. I suppose I need to research when I can till. Garden care for public spaces. I'm sure there's a book. Too bad the "public" means dogs in my case. And all they ever do is bark bark.
