Lori’s been attacking the herb garden with some gusto and it’s starting to look much better. I think I’ve finally convinced her that even though she wants to be a green gardener, slug bait is a good thing. In addition to major losses from slugs, I think we lost about 6 or 7 boxwood shrubs to the neighbor’s dog, a few more plants lost to deer, and a million more weeds came in with the winter floods. Who ever said gardening was easy? Hopefully with the fence completed (next project when I’m done with the barn) the dog problem will go away, and the deer will be slowed down at least. It’s really amazing that we both work so hard around the house and it still looks like crap. (see last month’s aerial shot for proof.)
