Our Assignment...

...is to work on our poppy population this year.  They are losing ground to the Iris and the beds need to be thoroughly disturbed. We will be watching for the seed pods to mature so we can sow it all back where the poppies belong.  Our wildflower beds out in front of Pattie's house have crashed, so this week we will be killing grass (again!), tilling, and sowing seed again.  (In addition to mowing grass, pruning limbs, making firewood, cleaning up storm damage, cleaning out the wood pile in the barn, replenishing the woodpile, Sheesh!)  Good thing I am retired.
