Will little work on my part the veggies have managed to survive two weeks. The plants in the back bed only need six hours of full sun, the afternoon sun is brutal. So the late afternoon shade works out. Nothing major to announce except that the red and orange bell peppers are starting to bloom. I tried oak leaf mulch but it blew away as my wife predicted. So I went with three inches of organic cypress mulch. It seems to be working out and helping to keep the soil moist underneth.
I almost tossed these white salvias because they were not doing well in the front bed. But moved them where they had more shade and fed them some new dirt and fish juice. They are doing much better now.
I got up early this morning to gather field stones to build dry stack walls for some of our flower beds. It's something I have been wanting to do since we moved in. The best part is that the stones were free!
