When last we left the garden, I said I still had "a lot of cleaning up to do":
Did I actually do any of it?
Ummmmm.....
No.
All that mess, and more, faced me yesterday:
I had not set foot in the garden in almost 2 months.
I almost missed the daffodils.
They just went on blooming without me.
Time flew by as I picked up leaves, pulled up mint gone wild, and removed an especially exuberant potato vine that our landlord was not in love with.
I know the limits of my own strength.
I waited until Bob got home from work, then asked him to dig up the stubborn stump.
Then it was time to apply the chocolate:
It smells great, is not at all messy, lays right down and stays there (like an obedient canine!), and tends to slice up snails and slugs.
In fact, the layer I applied last year was still going strong.
It really does make the garden smell like chocolate:
Delicious!
I also have chocolate mint!
I went out and picked this mini-bouquet this morning:
