The planter box on the deck had a few issues. 1) There was only 4 inches of soil and 2) the grape vines came in contact with the soil, and they were constantly sending out roots that was robbing everything else of water and nutrients.

I think I also solved the problem of having Dasher use the planter box as his look out point too, it is hopefully too tall for him to jump into now.

For about 2 years I’ve been planning to use the little 3 foot x 20 foot patch of grassy area adjacent to the patio for a flower bed of some sort, but never built up enough wanto to get it done. Since I had a 4 day weekend, I figured I could get this done and more! I might have overestimated my speed again. I choose these skinny edgers from Home Depot. They are 18″ long each. I originally wanted to use the same edgers I used in the front yard, but I reconsidered, since these will take up less room and give me more room for growing food. A drawback is that I had to follow the slope of the land instead of leveling it up with the house. They were easy to put down, since I already had a good base from the patio pave stones.

I’ve been informed by my mother-in-law that I’m putting too many pictures of pepper plants and not enough pictures of Bryson on the website, so here are some new ones!

Thanks to Jon Stewart, I now see comedy in Obama’s press conference. If I could just look past the fact that my country appears to be crumbling before me, I’d spend all day laughing!
