Saturday Project

The back of the yard is done - well., the main part that we wanted cleared - is finally done. The small area going down along the back side will have to wait for another day. But at least the vegetation is off the hill and the main part of the yard.

Our green bin is again overflowing with yard waste and I have more to recycle back by the wall when I can.

So what do we do now? Well... We are thinking of terracing the hill in 2 parts., and the yard will have 3 or 4 raised bed planters. These will have themes to them like: Salsa Garden, Herbs de province, Salad Garden and uh... still thinking about the 4th one.  :)

The Lemon tree was cut down., most of the upper part was straggly, dead, and hard to reach the sparse fruit that would grow. It does have new leave sporting from its sides, but they are occupied heavily by aphids. We're going to spray them with a water/soap solution to try and curb the infestation. We are also getting soil and worm juice from Yvonne sometime next week. I'll be putting that around the base of the tree to give it a good feeding.
