Monday, December 22, 2008. To mulch, or not to mulch? A protective covering, usually of organic matter such as leaves, straw, or peat, placed around plants to prevent the evaporation of moisture, the freezing of roots, and the growth of weeds.

Thursday, January 13, 2011. And it's been almost 2 years since my last post. (Wh- aaaa. It is winter, yet again, in the Northeast, and I find myself in the same frame of mind as when I started this blog in the first place: reflective, energized, in touch.
