shannon_aOperation: Front Yard now enters its third week. This time around I managed to clear the weeds out of about a third of our front yard proper. This was a lot more work than the site strip that I cleared out last weekend because the weeds were more deeply rooted and had formed quite a mesh of herbiage webbing across the ground. Last week's method of saturating the ground did help, but mostly on the edges of the yard. Toward the center, going was tough.
Next weekend I'm planning to clear through to our Ecachia tree, then the week after that I'm going to finish the front yard.
We did receive our Mock Strawberry seeds toward the end of last week. They're about the tiniest things I ever saw, which I suppose makes sense given what Unmocked Strawberry seeds look like. Kimberly was going to plant them yesterday, but she was too tired, but then she ended up spending 30 or 60 minutes pulling little blooming green weedlets from the strip I cleared last week. So, less incipient weeds, but no plantings.
She said she was going to do the planting today, else I'll do it this evening after work if it isn't already done. I want to get our little strawberries going so that we can get them strong & planted in the yard before rainy season comes up and brings all the weeds back.
We'll see how this whole growing from seeds things works; I have grave doubts that a plant could ever grow from something so tiny.
