Day 163, Year 3 (893)


Still waiting...

These plants are still waiting to be planted.  The flower bed that will be their home is filled with Creeping Charlie.  We are concocting a homemade natural weed killer tomorrow and soaking the flower bed with the hope of getting rid of all of the weeds. 

The recipe is:  1 gallon Vinegar, 2 cups Epsom Salts and 1/4 cup Dawn detergent.  Put this is in a garden sprayer, spray infected area early in the day.  Weeds are suppose to be wilted and brown by end of day. 

I'll keep you posted on how well it works.

Not in this photo is the body wash I made.  Super rich and its wonderful smell is peppermint and sweet orange. The fun

Now where do I hang this?  I think it might be perfect fence art.
