Plants

Well today is garden day.  A couple of hours are anyway.
I did a few hours yesterday preparing for changes I want to make to our set up.  I have decided I would like all plants to the side at the back and make it as open as possible.  I saw about a week ago how crowding lends itself to weeds and lack of access.
I must admit I am over weeds.  I actually have been for ages, but I have not known what to do about them.  Out the front I had really thick mulch put down and low and behold the weeds grew on top. I have another clever plan.  Maybe this one will work.  Maybe it won’t.  Maybe on my death bed I will be ruing the lack of a victory over the weeds.  Who knows?
Anyway I thought I would start on an area just outside our house.  My aim is to make the stone area one that will not support weeds, and put all plants in pots.  I want to make it a more open area.  I can see in my minds eye what I want, and we will see how close it goes.
I spent a while yesterday afternoon sorting out what I want where and determining empty pots I have.  I also collected any bases Pot plants really seem to do better with bases.
We are also getting plants together for a “plant market” we are having on the 20th of this month.  I will advertise it and gratefully receive any donations of plants for sale with all proceeds going to our food market.
There was a big spider on one of the items for donations.  It reminded me of the weekend just past.  I found a spider in out N3C kitchen.  I thought that will freak the attendees out.  It did not freak out one lady though.  She told me she is not scared of spiders.  It proceeded to run up her arm and into her dress.  It emerged around her neck.  We got it to the floor and she threw a towel over it, and took it outside.  Anway the spider I saw yesterday has disappeared who knows where.
So I am hoping to spend a few hours in the yard today before it gets too hot.  That is the plan anyway. Planning has been done in consultation with Merril, and we are both looking forward to the result.  I know we will not be disappointed.
