Growing

Rain followed by sun and warmer spring like temperatures result in lots of growth! That's what is happening out back right now.

A word about being green...

actually two words: leaf compost!!!

Last fall my grandson Tristan and I mulched all the leaves on the premises, blew them into a huge pile and over the winter they decomposed giving us great fertilizer for the day lilies and other beds.

We didn't put any bags full of leaves at the curb, didn't have any plastic bags to fill, and didn't do back breaking raking. We blew the leaves together, mulched them and put them in a pile and here we are! We putting things back into the earth. That is conservation at it best!
