Weeds

The summer like weather has made weeds on steroids!  They are giant, blowing seeds everywhere, and the roots are deep and gripping into the soil.  It can be a bit of an overwhelming task to clean up so many garden beds but we are making headway.


Lots of weeds! 

Shaping the bed and adding new vegetable growing space.  

Ivy and blackberries mixed in with weeds.  These retaining wall beds need a lot of work. We need to retain against the neighbor's yard with a higher concrete block wall to keep the ivy and weeds back and prevent the dirt from sliding down.  Instead of bird netting (to keep the deer out) we would like to line our fence line with cattle panels and then grow vines on them (I am thinking climbing roses, an evergreen clematis, fuzzy kiwis, and grapes).

The hillside mess.  We haven't quite figured out what to do with this space.  It is too steep for terraces and really even for plants to take root (except weeds!).  I would like a waterfall but we aren't quite sure how to make something this steep stable and cost effective.

Shaping up and looking groomed.

More weeds to pull.
