You're one month on in the middle of May.But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March."- Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time, 1926
Every garden is unique with a multitude of choices in soils, plants and themes. Finding your garden theme is as easy as seeing what brings a smile to your face. - Teresa Watkins, Gardening With Soul

Newspaper weeds away
Plant your flowers, vegetables etc, work the nutrients in your soil. Layer wet newspapers around the plants overlapping as you go. Cover with mulch and forget about the weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.
