There is so much rain this year. One good thing is we don’t have to water the plant everyday. But then the bugs, slugs and mosquitoes are more abundant than last year. This year we use grass clippings to control the weeds and it is not bad. I am using the black plastic film to smother another patch of lawn beside the existing garden. This area will be dedicated to our children. I am going to build a small bed for each child so that they can explore and enjoy gardening. I hope I can finish it before winter.
