Mulch Ado: Bringing a Little Order to Wild Beauty

FARMER’S MARKET

We went to the market in the early day. It’s always good to wake up on Saturdays, get going doing stuff, so you can have a full day. We got some local goods like cut kale and a kale plant. We got what the vendor described as “Mexican-style Giardiniera,” which is EXTREMELY hot (apparently. My wife is the only one who’s had some as of now.). My daughter got some homemade, organic lip balm.

THE PARK

We went to the park and had a nice time after our shopping.

HOME DEPOT: Trip 1, Trip 2 and Trip 3

I went and got a bunch of bags of mulch. Brown mulch and red mulch. Got back and then started the WeekendGardenSoldier session!

MULCHING

The best things I like about mulching are that it helps identify and isolate the plants that I actually planted. Of course, there are the known benefits of mulching: Retaining moisture and keeping weeds down.
