Mr. H is responsible for the mowing and I'm responsible for the rest, although we do have a company come in and spray four applications a year for weed control, or the yard would be solid crabgrass and dandelions. It still has a problem with Bermuda grass, but short of killing everything out and starting over....well, we just live with it! I'm afraid I spent so much time in garden construction this summer that my yard has suffered, especially my front yard. I have very few flowers this year, but hopefully next year will be better.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-15186265753944556802008-09-18T23:43:00.000-07:002008-09-18T23:43:00.000-07:00Wow Granny!

And whoever tends your grass is a perfectionist. I mow the tops of my weeds because I'm too lazy to pull them as fast as they reproduce.<BR/><BR/>And you've got exactly double my bed space. That's not fair! hehe.<BR/><BR/>And EG, your wife was born in my state, very cool! I did a project in Pasco. Nice towns the Tri Cities. And also make sure you look at Judy's SWC instruction page. I've reviewed all the plans and hers are the best by far! I hope to build another SWC to do 4 tomato plants next year myself.Sinfonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973076975622726383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-60022276533728007402008-09-17T05:04:00.000-07:002008-09-17T05:04:00.000-07:00Ok, granny - i'll check it when I get home this ev...Ok, granny - i'll check it when I get home this evening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-69975147573863755852008-09-16T20:48:00.000-07:002008-09-16T20:48:00.000-07:00EG, I just sent you an email :-)EG, I just sent you an email :-)Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-70731287585371669702008-09-16T20:07:00.000-07:002008-09-16T20:07:00.000-07:00Hey granny!

As soon as I can, I will also add a 10'x1' box inside the dog kennel for peas. There are also two mounds at the south end of the east garden for summer squash. I still have room for at least a 4'x4' box for potatoes, behind the garden shed. I definitely want to use some of the space for flowers next year.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-44262507884650239092008-09-15T20:12:00.000-07:002008-09-15T20:12:00.000-07:00Granny, I love seeing pictures of your garden....t...Granny, I love seeing pictures of your garden....they look all nice and neat!
