Discovering and Creating Our Yard
Bunch of projects lately.
Today I finally got all the seedlings and most of the seeds planted (click on any small image for a bigger picture):
Also planted today: sunflowers (just on the other side of the fence on the right of that picture) and cilantro and basil (in an empty-ish spot in one of our backyard flowerbeds).
Our backyard pond has been mightily cloudy:
You'd never know it from that picture, but there are a bunch of fish in there, and the pond is only perhaps a foot deep.
I did two things to try to remedy the problem. First, I used a "pond clarifier," which pulls all the gunk together into clumps that you can remove easily. Second, I added plants (which I'd been wanting to do anyway):
Look, fish!
Our front yard is getting really nice; almost none of that is due to our work but we take credit anyway:
Still to come: some annuals, some more seeds, maybe some grass in the spots that used to house playground equipment. Hooray for it almost sort of being spring!
