i almost forgot...

found out today that vinegar will kill your weeds between the cracks of your patio stones!

so much to say!

our wonderful neighbours have worked very hard in the backyard, clearing out all the junk and what appears to be bamboo roots... the soil looks to be in good shape, i'm going to do a soil experiment for my soils class tomorrow... there is tons of room to grow lots of veggies, and i'm super excited to get outside tomorrow and start planting! it's pretty amazing to have awesome neighbours who enjoy the outdoors as much as we do.

the front yard needs some weeding and some seed, all in good time. the greatest thing about gardening is that it's never really done :)

$6.22 and the Front Porch has Started!

sooooo, due to unforseen, somewhat shitty circumstances, my bf and i had to find a new apartment. which turns out to be a blessing in disguise. we now have a back and front yard. tonight i went to the corner store and spent $6.22 and picked up some wonderful little flowers for the front porch - it gives it a more homey, happy feel.
