A short, clean one!

Just a short update. I don't expect anyone to keep up with this all. It's really just a garden blog for me. But, you know, if you enjoy this, good on ya!

The fox or foxes ate the peanut butter, honey, whole wheat medicine sandwich pieces I left around last night. I'm such a hippie huh (Whole wheat?? For a fox? I just could see buying a cheap loaf of fluff bread. Ever.)

Oh, and I now have doubts that the stuff is comfrey. I was told by neighbors and landlady it is but I did some googling looking for information about it's gardening uses (as fertilizer water) and none of the pictures look like these tiny purple flowers. *sigh*

Here's what things look like a day after my first two onslaughts.
Lawn has brown paths through it but will green up over the next few weeks. I really don't care though. I hate lawn turf. Waste of space. On view: the pile of twigs and branches.
Isn't that concrete awful??!?!?!? I wish I could get rid of it. Put there by a previous owner ages ago.

EDIT: This picture is deceptive. You are only seeing about one-third of the garden. Behind the end of the grassy part is about two-thirds more where there is the summer house, a rather big compost pile, more garden space and a neighbor-made fox den. That section is my neighbor's garden. Photos of that another day.

The new rosemary and in the background -- the huge pot of grass clippings and the pile of stomped weeds/comfrey.

Next: the transplants! Mint, zucchini, okra, 2 types of green beans & around the corner the strawberries and a few more beans.

AND the heirloom tomato seedlings are getting their second set of leaves.
