The last time we met here, I talked about setting out plants that I started from seed and the use of newspaper and straw as a weed-preventing mulch. I got that accomplished two days after Mother’s Day. The newspaper-straw combination is looking really good and I think this will be a continuing tactic. No weeds […]
