We spent the past weekend yanking weeds, trimming the edges, spreading mulch, and sprucing up our front yard landscaping. In place of wood chips, we buy leaf compost from our township. I also need to figure out what we are going to plant under our bay window. We have planted several things there and they have not survived.

Last year, I chronicled my box garden conversion from random planting to the more calculated method, known as Square Foot Gardening.

We spent Easter weekend sprucing up our front and back yard landscaping. As you can see, it needed some attention: Some of the 'weeds' in the picuture is the mint that I naively planted 10 years ago when we built my garden box. It is the most invasive plant known to man! My plants benefited from the new soil too.
