That extra half inch can really make a difference in holding in moisture and will help your lawn from drying out as quickly.

Welcome to the Garden Blog -- a place to learn about what fellow Whatcom County gardeners are doing in their home plots. This is also a forum for you to recommend tried-and-true vegetable varieties, share your pest-control strategies and plant-husbandry tips, and get local answers to your specific garden questions.
Tasha received her B.A. from Mount Holyoke College in 2003. She has since worked full-time for newspapers as a features editor, page designer, garden columnist and copy editor. She left journalism last year to pursue a graduate degree in biology at Western Washington University. Her research is focused on the effects of invasive Himalayan blackberry on pollinators.
In addition to hundreds of research plants at the university greenhouse, Tasha tends a vegetable plot and several flower beds at her home in the Columbia Neighborhood.
