In a medium bowl, combine all your ingredients except for the zucchini, to create your marinade..
Next I stained the lower shelf, the legs, and the skirting..If you were wondering what that floating red object is in the background, it’s the zip line tied up to the deck on the playhouse.
We just put it up last year and it goes right across the creek!It definitely adds to the fun cottagey atmosphere in our back yard!.Anyway, after I was done with all that staining and zip line admiring, I stained some more!
The last thing I did was that beautiful barn wood counter top!.Rustic perfection!.
Here’s how everything turned out when all was said and done!.
It’s pretty great, if I do say so myself.This year is a little bit of an experimenting year.. We’ve read several places that the best way (and the only way for some types) to get rid of weeds and keep them away without using crazy chemicals is to smother them with black plastic.
For several years.At the start of last year, it seemed like a pretty drastic measure to lose the use of your garden for a few years just to avoid pulling a few weeds, but by Spring of this year, we knew that was what we had to do..
So about a month ago, we covered half of our garden with black plastic, leaving us just half of it to play with this year.It’s honestly still too big for any reasonable human beings to actually fill and keep up with, so we’re just fine with it for now.. Getting the plastic was easy.
