Too much contractor fuddling, too much rain on days I could have been outside, and so on. I somehow "misplaced" my list of things to put into my blog, and I get cranky at my over-ambitious to-do list that now includes another two tasks for each one I get done. <br />But - I'm so glad to see you made a resolution to post more in 2016! It's great!<br />Keep it up!

Your gardens are in my mind as an example of how it ought to be.....I feel the same way about total control, though I would love to have a handy "infrastructure fairy". You know, a person to take care of fences, beds, trellises....Ien in the Kootenayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766317652520657570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990106030730942804.post-24599481904912197692016-04-04T02:20:09.737-07:002016-04-04T02:20:09.737-07:00Haha-love the baby Freckles romaine popping up---a...Haha-love the baby Freckles romaine popping up---and those will be your toughest and best plants because they sowed themselves. <br /><br />I grow all my brassicas and potatoes under the fabric. You definitely can't grow the high maintenance stuff under there--all that lifting the fabric is a pain. I deep mulch everything so I don't have to worry about watering either.<br /><br />I dread the time I have to start cutting back on the garden. Last fall was a reality check for me in that I won't always be able (well enough) to do it. I was grateful for hubby's help.......though now he is again "banished" from my garden-LOL!!<br />I'm so mean.....or a complete control freak. Ah well, one day I won't be, so I might as well enjoy it.<br />I enjoyed your post. Hope all is well and you can keep going with it.<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
