I know, not the most exciting pictures but I'm posting something. I decided since this is my 365 days through my lens it should be my life as I live it. So, boring informative pictures and all here it is.
You know those big, hard to work with rolls of black stuff to put down as a weed barrier? Did you know that newspaper works just as well? It's easier to deal with because you can layer and stack it around the plants instead of having a long roll to deal with and having to cut out for plants.

Here it is with the mulch over the top (mostly, I'm not all the way to the edge yet) We get a lot of swampy puddles here from broken rain gutters so I usually stick something in a big pot that can be moved where the calla lillies are now. I do need to find a home in the ground for the lillies soon.
