A beautiful morning.It's really getting hot!
- Max spent the night and helped me build a large flowerbed around a tree this morning. It's about 10x10. It would have been a huge chore without him. Together we finished it in about 3 hours. I plan to plant some more bulbs. Love them!
- Swam in the pool and listened to old-time country music on the satellite radio.
- Deadheaded my roses.
- Watched the butterflies.
- Planted 10 packages of zinnias on Saturday. (Some of the places I planted zinnias last week are not going to sprout, I think. Not getting a good enough soak with the sprinkler, not worth readjusting everything.) Sunday morning I saw that 3 of the areas in which I planted seeds had been dug up by armadillos. That's why I plant so many.
- Fertilized my gingers and lots and lots of other things with my recycled water (water I capture in my rain barrels) and fish emulsion.
- Picked some eggplants and fried them in bread crumbs for lunch. Also made a tomato, olive, caper, Parmesan salad with the grape tomatoes in the garden.
- Turned the compost pile.
- Cleaned the birdbaths.
- Weeded, weeded, weeded.
- Staked some plants.
- Watered the fruit trees and the shrubs by the Greenhouse.
- Harvested parsnips, tomatoes, and carrots.
- Sowed okra seeds.
- Sprayed herbicide on all the paths in the Rose Garden, the Infinity Garden, the Shade Garden, around the pool, and the driveway.
- Smelled the roses.
