After a weekend of indoor projects, I’m finding it hard to get motivated to get outside again. Monday was cold (50degrees) and wet, and the icy chill of almost spring entered my bones. It’s going to be warmer today, and I want to get those new plants from Bob into the ground this evening.
How I wish sometimes that I had every warm sunny day at home to plant, weed, and enjoy the earth. But, I’m still glad to be employed during the daytime, and it makes sense right now to be doing what I’m doing. So, for now, my garden and family get me on good evenings and weekends. The cold wet evenings will lend me to a glass of wine, and sitting on the couch with my children for a movie, or an evening of indoor organizing. Since we moved in during the winter months, there’s always something left to be done. I know I’ll never get through all the boxes at once…but I can tackle one at a time.
I hope to try an organic herbicide on my dandelions in the lawn later this week. I’ve heard straight, strong vinegar will kill them to the root. Vinegar As Natural Weed Killer | Uses for Vinegar I’m looking forward to giving it a try, without killing the grass.
