making a bed

[eub]

In the area around the rhubarb, I dug up dandelions and cleared away shotweed (rar, messily ate shotweed in full view of other shotweed for the instilment of terror), turned over and pulverized the topsoil. Good stuff but oddly full of rocks. I tried to clear out last year's alyssum growth, but it's still attached, so I left a lot. The teeming horde of daffodils has run out of room underground and left sprouty bulbs just sitting on the ground, so I took those and moved them to the front of the house. More weeding there. Also, the black cat has now pranced all over my shallot bulbs so as to dig them up, so I sprinkled (old, stale, useless -- it's like the feeling of virtue from using M-x transpose-chars) cayenne pepper as a discouragement.

I ate the chicken's meat seedlings from my balcony planters (how does it get in?!) yesterday, as discouragement for other weeds, without knowing you'd done the same. I blame mind rays.

You're not going to have any weeding left for me to help with by the time I have daytimes free. :)
