| robynanne | On June 30, 2017 | Maintenance performed Seeds failed to show this spring. I'm told it can take two years, so I'm hopeful for next year. I'm also putting up a fence and sowing a few more seeds this July so maybe next spring! |
| robynanne | From September 4, 2016 to September 10, 2016 | Seeds sown Got the area under the maple tree all set up with drip irrigation. Mixed in composted manure and spread the seeds. Covered with hay first and then later in October I added maple leaves from my yard. Here's hoping they sprout in the spring! |
