Mulch more mulch

Mulch more Mulch

Hi Barbie – Finally a day without rain and/or wind – I managed to take the afternoon off work and get into the garden. I didn’t do anything exciting but I planted out all my tulip bulbs (at last!) and did some composting and some more mulching. By the time I was finished it was getting dark so unfortunately the photographs were not up to scratch, but here is one for you to see the apricot pip mulch that I laid today on the beds under the office windows. I think it looks great. And because he was so sweet and “helped” in his bizarre way, here’s a photo of Dexter too. Isn’t he handsome?

Thank you very Mulch

After mulching close up

Hi Barbie – I wanted to thank you again for the ten bags of apricot kernel / pip shell mulch you brought for me and thought you might like to see the results. I decided to tackle the two front beds first as I am waiting for the tree fellers to come on 6 June before I create the walkway at the back (which is what the apricot pip shells were actually intended for).

But you know me … I couldn’t wait to experiment so the two front beds got “mulched”. I used up two bags doing the Rose Bed and one in the Gardenia Bed so I might need to get hold of your contact to get a few more as I would like to do this everywhere … if you think it looks nice?

Here are a few photographs I took of the new “Rose Bed” which I did this morning. I took a few “before” and “after” photos so you can see the results.
