It’s amazing what you can accomplish on rainy Saturday! As I’ve been threatening promising, here is the Gardenlog.

Here’s a picture of what I started with: The backyard, still looking north (Clicking on the photo will get you a larger version of it.)

As you can see, the previous owners apparently spent a lot of time not watering and spraying gallons of Roundup to keep the weeds away. I suspect that Roundup poisoning is what’s wrong with one of the avocado trees. Hopefully we had enough rain this winter to remove any remaining herbicides.

This photo was taken in early October 2000, shortly before I moved in. It looks a little different now, as you’ll see in tomorrow’s picture.

My Burpee order finally came this week. Sixty bucks worth of seeds to fill up that vast expanse of brown dirt there.
