Thanks for the warning, thomfoote. I ddin't know that about cedar effect. i know nothing much grows under them here. We've had quite a bit of rain that's stalled anything in the garden. The bark I used in the bed was Mulberry and Elm. We haven't made a run to get mulch yet. So much to learn, but I'm open to all suggestions. It's just been too wet or foggy to get out and work in the garden this week.
Our garden club has just handed out the club cultivars for us to grow for the flower show competition. It's a large cherry tomato this year. I'm going to do my best to not embarrass myself! Have a grow box ready for the tomatoes!
