Mid-March planting, part 2

March 17, 2020March 17, 2020 ~ M Ress ~ 4 Comments

So it's stopped raining during the day, though it's still drizzling at night and in the early morning. This is good for me, as it's giving more time to plant and pot things before next Monday when the rains return.

Not surprising after all, they were planted during a sluggy season and they all got nibbled to death. … Continue reading June planting and construction

Some of this is so I can finally ditch the mint thunderdome and put something else in that pot- but a lot of it is so I can give home grown mint plants as gifts to friends. Like this lovely strawberry … Continue reading Fun with cuttings
