Every day I've been waking up and hoping we will finally get some warm, sunny weather. This has been a strange and cold spring. Here we are in May with temperatures that feel more like late March.
In any event we've been planting the garden knowing that one of these days it will get sunny and warm enough to get some real growth. I had to laugh at two pieces of garden advice which showed up in two back to back stories.
The first gave advice on how to keep snakes out of the garden, a problem we haven't had at least so far. The advice was to avoid mulching the garden, snakes like settling down underneath mulch. On the heels of this came advice on how to keep weeds out of the garden. Mulch the garden! The issue then becomes which do you hate more, snakes or weeds. Mulch keeps weeds out but lets snakes in.
Gardening is not without its issues..
