Finally, a day when it’s not actually raining. Well, not very hard, anyway. There was light drizzle on and off and the sun didn’t actually come out, but we got quite a bit done out there today. The town had their annual plant swap in the morning. I took down some obedient plant, a couple

I got back on plan today. I wanted to start at one side of the perennial border and work my way around, instead of jumping from bed to bed and never getting any area completely finished. It’s all still a bit overwhelming when I look at how much there is still to get done, but

I started outside this morning wanting to finish the bed directly in front of the front door. Though I’d done the majority of that bed, for some reason I stopped short of the most visible part, which was dumb, but I started there today, and what a huge difference it made! First off, I tackled

It’s Saturday, it’s warm, I’ve been gone all week, and I couldn’t wait to get out there in the garden and get going. I started this year with my least favorite bed. I figure if I start the spring clean up here, or perhaps I’ll keep it under control and stop avoiding it so much.

I started some veggies up on the upstairs balcony today. Last year, I did lettuce, garlic, and onions. The garlic never did anything, the onions were great as scallions, and the lettuce was a hit with everyone, and lasted deep into the summer. So this year, since the veggie patch is going to take a

It was a memorable Memorial Day weekend, if only because it was so nice. I stayed outside on Saturday as much as physically possible, considering we went to the town plant swap, where I did great. I got tons of stuff that will grow here, yay, and had time to get it all in. We’re panicking a bit because there’s still so much to do before the garden tour. I’m making a list of stuff that must be done, and we are slowing working our way down it. It mostly involves weeding, spreading mulch, dividing and transplanting, but all on an abbreviated schedule because of the hard limit of the garden tour itself. It doesn’t sound like much, but when I’m out there looking at what’s left to be done, it can be a bit overwhelming.
