This is a bud of Souvenir de la Malmaison.Hot on Thanksgiving day, beautiful the remaining 3 days. Thirteen for Thanksgiving. Good day.
- Shredded leaves for a while. Four bags of shredded leaves into the compost pile. That's the best compost material! I would have done more, but if I wait a few weeks it gets easier because the leaves are a foot deep in places, and I don't have to work so hard to rake/gather them.
- Buried oranges in the vegetable garden for nematodes.
- Spent all day Friday watching movies and napping. Did no work except for the leaf shredding in the morning.
- Rearranged furniture. My son gave me two ultramodern chairs because he's moving into a smaller place.
- Planted 500 bulbs on Saturday and 200 bulbs on Sunday. 90 Erlicheer daffodils around the pin oak at the side of the house, 300 petticoat daffodils and Rolf Fielder Star Flowers around the La Marne roses that line the driveway, 100 drumstick allium in The Orchard, 200 Excelsior Spanish Bluebells along the path to The Orchard, 10 Erlicheer daffodils in The Orchard.
- Had a load of mulch delivered on Saturday morning.
- Spread mulch in the Rose Garden most of the day on Sunday.
- Pulled up all the salvia along the front of the house. It froze last night - the first freeze of the year - and everything that's non-winter hardy died. It's winter now.
Thanks, Josh!
