Herb Garden ( April 26, 2013 )

Klarissa suggested that we need to tame the dominant herbs in the herb garden down and coax the weaker ones back to life. We all think this is a great idea and can't wait for the herb garden to be back in shape!

Weeds ( April 21, 2013 )

Snapdragon sent us a picture of a plant that needs to be removed.

These weeds were taken care of by Klarissa.

We cleaned up the dead plants and waste to make room for the new growth.

We also rewrote the signs.

To Do List ( April 14, 2013 )

Snapdragon sent us a To Do List on April 14th.

 

1.  Finish raking up the brown, dead leaves.  (esp. by the window where the Beautyberry Shrubs are located and between the Rose Mallow sticks)

2.  Remove  whatever is growing in the Virginia Sweetspire shrubs.

3.  Cut down the remaining Prairie Dropseed grasses.

4.  Re-do the signs.  Some things are starting to sprout, so we can see what we have growing this year.  

5.  Cut off the spent daffodil flowers. 

 

Thank you Snapdragon.
