Garden frosting

We started putting mulch (also known as "frosting") in some areas of the garden to help with moisture control. Twenty bags of 2 cubic foot mulch did not go very far in the garden but it is a start. We will get another 20 bags next week. We still have a lot of landscape fabric to clear and areas of weeds.  We cleared 7 bags of weeds and such. We also identified some more bushes for removal. 

This is the far side of the garden near the stop sign. Lots of grass, vetch, wildflowers, and such growing here. 

We managed to get some of the rubbish/debris cleared and lay the mulch. This area has some of the daisies, irises, and wild geraniums.

See the mulch (aka, frosting) around some of the plants. This will be significant for the irises and bushes to retain moisture. You can see the second area that has daisy and wild geraniums planted. 

My partners for the day. They even have on the new club aprons.
