Came up Thursday evening and left on Saturday morning for the lake. Easter with the family.
- Sprayed herbicide in the Rose Garden.
- Planted some clumps of butterfly gingers that I dug up from the flower beds in Houston. I planted several clumps in the Circle Drive and several in the Boardwalk Garden. The Pinecone Gingers have finally started popping up out of the ground, so I dug up some of those in the Houston beds as well and planted them along the Boardwalk. I have worked hard moving gingers. They should look really good in Burton.
- I moved a Pavonia from the Blue Mist bed to the Boardwalk Garden where it will get more sun and more water. I think it is a variety with spots on the flowers that came up from a random seed. The plant died years ago. If it's a seed from the Rock Rose I already have growing, I'll be disappointed.
- Repaired some places where armadillos rooted up the clumps of gingers that I planted last weekend.
- Deadheaded in the Rose Garden.
- Cooked some parsnips from the garden Friday evening for dinner, sliced and browned in a little butter.
- Added a sprinkler with timer in the Greenhouse Garden. Now I won't be so saddled to the farm every weekend just to water hard to reach places.
