Actually, I think the best approach for the garden path is to use crushed limestone—it drains well and packs tight. The hosta bed could use a compost boost; the soil there is a bit heavy. We should also consider adding a few stepping stones to break up the long run. The deer have been less problematic since we put up the motion lights last spring. Have you tried that method with the marigolds? They really do help with the Japanese beetles. Let me know if you want to borrow my pH meter.

Yeah, I think that recipe works best if you soak the beans overnight and then simmer them slowly with a bay leaf. The key is to not add salt until they’re tender—otherwise they get tough. I usually add a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end to brighten the flavor. Let me know if you want the full spice blend. I’ve also been experimenting with roasting the garlic first, and it gives a much sweeter, deeper taste.
