April Snow ?

Area F2 -- Mark wielded a saw and a tired old rhododendron is gone. The sphinx got shifted a few yards to the west.

Area C1 -- Dug out more of the tropical grass. Man, that stuff is insidious -- it forms a mat of roots about five inches wide spreading everywhere (including our neighbor's yard). I put some of it in a pot with no drainage hole, which is probably the only way to contain it. But the rest went into the yard waste bin (not the compost).

Areas A1 & B1 -- Planted rosemary, sage, basil, celantro, etc. Then it snowed. In April. It never snows in April around here. Not only did it snow once, it snowed twice. Then it hailed. I put tarps and plastic covers over everything; the basil looks very unhappy.

Areas A1 & A1 -- The week before the snow it got into the mid 70's. It only reminded me that the next task is to purchase some 180lb wire and string a curtain along the west end of the tin roof for some kind of shade.
