A Place In The Sun

I'm planning on laying-out my spring/summer garden soon. I've decided on a plot in the southeastern corner of the property, as it gets sun most of the day. I'm thinking of staking a clear plastic tarp to kill the grass and weeds, then compost and a raised bed.

The spot is level, and I can build a compost cage nearby. For now, I will look into using the twigs from clearing the property's edge. It can't be too shabby: the garden will be near the road. White or green picket would be good. Add to list....

'I Say Love - It Is A Flower...'

I looked out my bedroom window this morning, and was greeted by this beautiful old thing. I don't know how long this rose has been growing in this ground.
'What a shining example for us all', I thought, 'barbed, beautiful, and stalwart'.
