This is pretty Dame de Coeur rose, introduced in 1958.This has been another pristine weekend, the sort of weather that is perfectly beautiful. The smell in the air is wonderful - fresh and fragrant.
- I spent a good part of Saturday repairing the Bulb Garden. After all the work I did the weekend before, the armadillos dug under the chicken wire and dug up all my bulbs. I didn't use long enough stakes. I'm at my wits end.
- Sprayed the roses for the dreaded blackspot early Sunday morning before the bees were stirring.
- Put more labels on plants.
- Admired the Rose Garden. Everything is blooming!
- Cut back the spent goldenrod in the Star Garden.
- Filled some holes - one under a Big Daddy Hydrangea that an armadillo dug out, the other was created by the landscapers when they curved an old bed to meet a new one.
- Added several bags of grass clippings to the compost pile and turned it over.
- Washed the furniture around the pool.
- Planted three blueberry shrubs in The Orchard - two Brightwells and one Tifblue. I planted them in holes filled with peat moss. They like peat moss.
- Thinned out the African Hostas in the Shade Garden and planted the extra bulbs in one of my new shady flowerbeds. I had about 50 bulbs after I separate them.
- Swept and mopped the kitchen and dining room.
- Watched a praying mantis in the Rose Garden for a long time.
- Saw a big lizard catch a gigantic cricket and eat him. Nature - kill or be killed.
- Drove around the beautiful woods.
- Fertilized various plants.
- Watered shrubs around the Greenhouse Garden.
