The walk from the mud room to the garden.
The back deck.
The brick grill.
Plants! And a lawn mower! And a composting bin!
I "gardened" for the first time this morning. I did take down one clothes line, but one of the spiders made a convincing argument for leaving the other one up. Namely, he refused to get off of it and climbed inside a clothes pin.
Because there are so many spiders, I decided there wasn't much I could do without gloves. I did trim back the rosemary plant. You can't tell in the picture, but there is another plant between the rosemary and the bigger leafy shrub. It has sent out long tendrils, I think because it was not getting enough sunlight. Maybe it will now.
I also mowed, but I'm not sure I made much of an improvement. The lawn mower blades may need sharpening.
I found moldy things in the compost bin. The pamphlet on the refrigerator about the compost bin says it probably needs more nitrogen-creating compostable material. Hopefully the grass clippings I put in today will help.
