I have to admit this is a depressing time of year for me when it comes to the gardens. At this time the gardens don't get enough water, the CN triangle looks especially look sparse and I begin to wonder why I'm doing this-it doesn't even look better than before we started! At least spring was pretty. Time to look back in the archives for inspiration! And maybe figure out how to get more water action down there. One rain barrel has been installed with another on the way, so we're getting a start.
here's the South Sun Garden 2 weeks after we weeded it all....
this photo doesn't seem to show the lawn of horsetail though!

I have to say that horsetail is ruining my life some days. Anyone got any organic ideas that don't involve too much digging?? We think there is electrical under there. Our friends down the block have been burning through the DDT to get it, but it keeps coming back and besides, that's yucky. But, the West Glen Sun Garden also looks yucky, it's basically a big patch of horsetail and other weeds with the occasional dying plant. *Sigh!*
Hopefully we'll get some good helpers on board and tackle these problems with gusto and next summer things will look much better!
