There will be much digging in your future...

Oh boy.

This weekend was kind of a bust (home improvement wise) but we expected that. We had a show Friday, I had a High School Reunion Saturday night and Andy had to fly out to Maryland Sunday morning, so we didn't get a lot accomplished. Saturday afternoon we did scoot over to Home Depot to pick up some solar lighting and a wheelbarrow, then to a sod/landscaping store to pick up our clover seed. We came home and lined the solar lighting up the driveway, raked the ground a bit and threw down the clover seed, watered it and that was about all we had time for.
I'm not sure if I mentioned the clover decision in earlier posts, but I have been researching inexpensive ground-cover that is drought resistant, doesn't need much mowing and won't die if the dog pees on it. The answer was...clover. Other good news, it grows fast and with very little encouragement. PERFECT! The above picture shows what the ground looks like now...barren. We want to green it up in time for the wedding. This weekend it is supposed to rain a little and then we should have some sunshine and it will germinate. I'll take more pictures in a few weeks to let you know how its going.



Much to my chagrin, the rabbits are finding their way in between garlic plants to get to the iceplant cuttings I put down, so...sigh...I am going to have to build a better barrier.



Since the garlic shoots come in pots, I have been moving them around the property as needed, BUT now I have decided I must take them out of the pots and just start lining the property with individual shoots. This is going to be time consuming.



More good-news/bad news...Jenny caught another rabbit, BUT she is digging holes all over the property, including where we have put down new plants. I'm not sure if she is digging out of boredom, to find more rabbits or to bury her treasures...but it is borderline destructive and I am hoping it doesn't become a huge issue. She was SO PROUD today to show off her kill...and I showered her with tons of love and gratitude. She is such a sweet dog...I just adore her.

So, wish me luck with my digging issues. I will be planting garlic until the cows come home, and refilling holes that Jenny has created. YAY! :)
