Rain, Rain, Go Away
April showers bring May flowers, but this is ridiculous - it's bringing more weeds than anything else, it seems. We have had very few sunny days in the month of April, and on what days were nice, I wasn't able to get out into the gardens.
G is going to try to mow and reseed the shady front lawn today if the rain holds off long enough.

Hell No, We Ain't Gonna Mow - Veggie Gardens and Landscape Timbers
Last night G found literature at the local Home Depot that says that we should not be using pressure treated lumber anywhere near food (it's treated with a copper compound that can leach out), so there goes our primary idea for the vegetable garden terraces. Plan B is installation of those heavy concrete blocks like our neighbor used - cheaper, yes, but also more work.
Here's the area that we're going to be working on all staked out. It's about a 30-45 degree slope that is a pain in the rear to mow.
