Keeping it clean

Unfortunately, due to all the rain this week there has been very limited time spent in the beds doing maintenance like weeding and pruning. When you have these consecutive rainy days this is a good time to look around the garden to see what ells needs to be done. So this week I took advantage of not being able tending to the garden and cleaned up the area around the garden. It is important to maintain a clean and organized work area. When you know where everything is you wont waste time looking around for stuff. Also it is important to keep the area clean so you don't invite unwanted pest into the garden. areas with clutter on the ground, rather it be tools or organic matter, invite ants and other unwanted insects into your garden area.
