Year old debri clump
This debris clump is in its second year. We will see more of this and its sister grow into one giant clump as the season progesses.
Debris Clump
During spring planting there are a lot of old plants and debris from the previous year. Some of this debris collects in piles and I let whatever plant can survive in that pile grow. This clump I cheated and seeded it with wildflowers but am happy to see them grow. I have been watering these clumps more this year than in past. More on clumps later.
Southeast corner of main roof. Cleome can grow into a monster plant and this year I decided to grow it on the main roof. Cleome might be the reason why I see more bees that could have led to increased flowering in the tomato plants.
