I have started a herb garden in addition to my veggie garden[with flowers outlining it!] and since my hubby mulched the herb garden for me, those weeds are being stifled and much LESS showing UP! So, it's off to the garden supply store to get mulch for the rest of the veggie garden now! Am planning to show photos in my gallery of the gardens as they progress!The mulching also SAVES WATER as it helps to keep the ground moist so LESS WATER is needed!

The ants came out like crazy last week and my bulbs are now growing. Got the rose garden raked out & mulched today. Now I know! Weather is crazy still, but the bulbs and ants don't seem to care. Got Preen Mulch, has a weed barrier for 6 months! Very cool!

I use my gardening as part of my fitness plan, keeping myself moving, from one bed to the next doing weeding, thinning, raking mulch, whatever needs to be done. 12514687214126434
