I thought I'd share a photo of my
lovely vegetable garden:
You'll note the absence of any
vegetable-y goodness. Because of school and our crap weather (second
year of crap weather, WOO HOO!!!), I never had time to plant
tomatoes. Obviously I never had time to pull out the weeds either.
I'm really impressed with how luscious
they are. My only hope is that when they finally die, their decaying
carcasses will bring nutrient rich soil for next year. Then again, it
might just bring more weeds. Also, that the hell are these? Elephant
ears?
This is pretty, but still a weed:
At least the caterpillars are enjoying
it:
While taking those photos, there was
something moving in there. So I should probably find the time to
clear it out if critters are taking up residence.
Speaking of critters, we seem to have a
skunk problem. These holes showed up about two weeks ago. Google says
they're probably skunk holes. Which is a great name for a rock band.
Yeah, so skunks are digging up our yard
looking for food. You'd think with the woods less than ten feet away,
they'd have plenty to eat there, but apparently not. This was also
the first year we didn't put down any chemicals on the lawn because
of the dog. So we've been invaded by skunks, there's more chipmunks
than I can count, there's spider trampolines ALL over the grass, and
it's just basically a very buggy world here. We also didn't have a
winter this year, so I'm sure that helped.
Due to all the wet weather, we do have
a lot of moss. This stuff is so soft and fuzzy (and probably has
spiders...).
