They worked well when applied wet and covered with mulch.<br /><br />You may be able to get some early plants going on the verandah if it is south facing it would be warm and protected.<br /><br />How exciting to be getting everything ready for the warmer weather and weekends at your Happy Place with no driving into town at the end of a relaxing day.....blissMargaretPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990336317308988689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-2468507520287904462016-03-21T15:48:20.864-05:002016-03-21T15:48:20.864-05:00Nice tidy bit of work there well done Nice tidy bit of work there well done Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-16036440586266982742016-03-21T15:00:46.350-05:002016-03-21T15:00:46.350-05:00Such a lovely photo of the cows grazing in that br...Such a lovely photo of the cows grazing in that bright green grass field.<br />Layering thick layers of newspapers will also help.

You might try the big furniture stores for a load of lots of cardboard. For the mulch - does Houston have a free or low-cost mulch station from the chopped up tree limbs they pick up? <br />Marigolds and herbs would look great in your flowerbeds by the garden - and they will repel some of the bad bugs. <br />And you had another beautiful, delicious supper to come home to - the perfect end to a very productive weekend. <br />It’s warmed up a bit today and the sun is shining, so I’m going out to work in my garden. And eat a few tomatoes - one of my yellow pear tomatoes was in a protected spot and didn’t freeze this winter - so now I have some early tomatoes. <br />Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.com
