Lots and lots of mulch

We are having such nice warm weather that I am spending most of my time in the garden. There are so many weeds to pull.

My hubby has been making me some raised beds which will help define my garden space much better.

I decided to lay down a weed cover and lots of mulch in hopes to keep out as many weeds as possible. Besides the fact it will look so much nicer.

I have planted some lettuce and pole beans which are beginning to appear.

I'm not sure what all I will be planting in my beds yet, but one thing for sure I want a lot more herbs.

I will be removing the gray brick and putting in the red cedar boards in its place. Everyone must have the same idea about mulching right now as they have run out of this particular mulch. Hope what hubby brings home will be at least close to this same color. Sure do want to get it down before all the grass and weeds decide to pop up again.

Very time consuming work but I gotta admit, I love digging in the dirt.
I think I am going to put in a lot of annuals this year too, just so I can fill in my garden with lots of color.
I just hope we continue to have Spring weather for awhile and not jump right into Summer like it has the past two years. It would be so much easier on the plants and me, of course.
Hope your day is as bright, sunny and warm as mine. Enjoy!
