lazy few days but i finished up the acorns the other day and today i cleared out the path though i still need to pick everything up and get it to the compost. tomorrow i'm gonna try to get a ton of chips with kammy, maybe picking up some more dirt. i think i really want to move towards planting a lot of stuff around the pond and clearing up the little peninsula. i was going to wait until i had compost to put down there but i might just chuck chips everywhere and amend in compost later. every time i see a plant i dont recognize somewhere i try to end up transplanting it to fill out a lot of the area we've put chips down already and it seems like its working so i'll probably be able to get the ground well covered with both chips and plants so things like mushrooms can start thriving and the landscape starts retaining a lot more water. want more ground covers and big keystone plants but i keep mostly running into shrubby stuff which is fine but i wanna get these chips covered and shaded. still need to finish moving the rest of the rocks for the lizards but i think i might be able to get the pile high enough for the nearby grape to use as support
