Saturday cleanup

Today was a good day for the garden. Diane and I got good and dirty cleaning up, weeding, and relocating plants in the garden. 


The previous salsa garden which had the green peppers, tomatoes and hot peppers had been over grown once they stopped producing fruit. We dug down a good foot or so and tilled the soil, then added pearlite and other fertilizer to augment it. Not sure what will be planted there, but at least it's weed free for now. 


 This plant was starting to make a comeback after the house had been tented. But we decided to pull it and plant something else. One idea is to do another gutter planter. Maybe two 2x4's down in the ground and attached the plastic gutters to those. 

Hold on. It's raining now, I'm hot and I need to go play in the rain!

 Ahhhh. So much better 

 
The garden beds have all been weeded here. I'm sure they'll come back tomorrow and the vicious cycle will continue between weeds and humans. 


 Diane took the Mohawk off of the Brazilian cherry bush :)

 
 Oregano

 Sage

Two of the herbs we grow: oregano and sage were cut back - although you couldn't tell by looking at it. Gonna wash them and dry em' for use later. 

 I really really want to start learning how to grill pizzas on our little webber grill. The oregano would do well in a pizza sauce me thinks.
