Mulching, planting, chores

A short post on a busy day. Although we had our first freeze the other night, temperatures will be in the lower 60's F today so it's a good day to get more fall chores done outside.


For instance, mulching. The free community mulch pile is just what I need...

...because I just don't like the idea of paying for "good" mulch just to fill some bamboo trenches:



So I'll be making a few trips out there today to ensure that these trenches are well-filled.

An empty trench is not only ugly, but a bit dangerous.

Don't worry though, I saved some time to visit a local nursery or two to pick up some half-priced plants! I'll show you those tomorrow.

Now, get to work out there!

    I forgot to mention that these photos were taken with my no-longer-cloudy iPhone camera. :)

    How did you de-cloud your iPhone lens???

    Busy day for me too. Lots of non-photogenic chores.

    I removed the back cover then pried out the little plastic lens cover assembly -- that was the thing that was scratched. Now the lens is exposed to the world, but at least I have a camera I can use. I may get a replacement cover part if I find that the lens is too hard to dust off.
