Do you have any tried and true methods for living in peace with your mischievous kitties?

So that’s the plan of attack.I’m feeling pretty good about it.

Meanwhile, we’re still having a heck of a time keeping up with the weeds in the other half.. For the record, even with all of my weed killing strategies this year, I’m still kind of a wild flower/weed lover at heart.. I’m a little bit tempted to one day just let the whole property go au naturel and see what happens.Look at these pretty pinky flowers that popped up!.OK, we do have some actual veggies growing this year, but only very few so far.. One success is the pumpkins.

Last year by this time, I’d already replanted them thrice because of the bugs that were eating them to the ground.This year, one shot and it looks like we’re good to go..er..grow!.

That extra thick weedy patch down the center is where we’re going to put the path.

More black plastic covered with some mulch is the plan!.I hope that doesn’t mean that Chris was hitting balls at the house..

Here’s the after!.Most of that white powder that you see is actually Borax, which I’d tried a few weeks before and just never swept up.

It didn’t do a thing for my weeds.. Of course the weeds still need to be pulled out, but now they come out as one piece instead of breaking off and re-growing.I can’t believe I never thought of this these last few years as I’ve been trying to keep up with these weeds.
