Yesterday, I did some gardening. I expanded the flower bed in the front garden little by little. First, I put down cardboard to cover the grass, and then I added mulch on top. Tomorrow, I plan to put down some seed, but I’m a little worried about the birds eating them. A few years ago, I planted hundreds of sunflower seeds, and none of them came up. To increase my chances of success, I think I will plant some directly in the soil and start others in a pot. This way, I will have two sources of the same plants. I will cover the pot with plastic wrap to keep the birds away and help it germinate.
Also yesterday, I watered the clover seeds and went into the alley behind the house to trim a tree. Unfortunately, I got locked out of the backyard when the gate shut. I had to run through the neighbor's yard to reach the street. As I crossed their yard, I jokingly said, "Please don't kill me," because their giant dogs went crazy, and I was a little worried I should have been more sneaky. Fortunately, one of the red-headed kids opened the gate and let me out.
