COMPOST

I need to find a fairly local compost place :) I am going to start trying to make some but that will take a while. And, I know that I need some now, as our soil is mostly clay and none of my veggy plants like that, except for all of these dang wild strawberries. But, strawberries are not veggies are they.

My strawberries are throwing runners like crazy. At first I was snipping them off so that the mother plant could use the energy to get bigger and stronger but then there were some many more I decided to just let them grow. When they get big enough I will move them to their own spot.

I also need some straw. I have asked at work to no avail. I used to see signs for free straw everyday in town and now I never see any. :(

Rock dust is on my shopping list and I will probably end up buying a 50 pound bag of it :) I'm every excited about rock dust.

Something, probably a bird, has covered both my front and back lawn in frelling Morning Glorys!!! I hate Morning Glorys and they are taking over, now I will have to work double hard on aphids.
We also have 4 other types of vineing ivy like plants on our fences and trying to take over our house, this is an endless battle when trying to do it without chemicals.

I planted some Nasturtiums and some Sweet Peas, so I hope it rains soon :D
