This is a Debutante Camellia just opening.Nice Weather!
- Came alone. Bert went hunting.
- Shredded leaves until the shredder died on me. I filled it with gas, but I couldn't get it started again. I don't know what's wrong. Used the shredded leaves in beds around The Greenhouse as mulch.
- Finished off the mulch pile I bought two weekends ago. It went all around the pool before it was all used up. I pulled up all the freeze damaged salvia in the process.
- Fertilized my 'Frostproof' Gardenias. They were looking a little yellow.
- Tried to fill in the path I created last weekend with crushed granite that was sitting out for about a year. Hard as a rock! I'll have to bash it with a sledge hammer I guess. Moved on to another project.
- Put our suet for the birds. Filled the bird baths.
- Watered here and there.
- For dinner on Saturday ate collards from the garden.
- Fertilized all the Dianthus.
- Some of my little bulbs are springing forth around the La Marne roses. So cute!
- Worked in The Vegetable Garden. Cut back all the dead asparagus vegetation. I was sick of it! Asparagus get very unruly. Now I can easily bury citrus to ward off nematodes. Fertilized. Don't neglect vegetable in the winter time! They need fertilizer - more fertilizer than spring veggies.
- Raked out The Vegetable Garden.
- Watered the plants that have been moved into The Greenhouse for the winter.
- Cleaned out the pool skimmers. Saved a little frog in one of the skimmers that was surely going to die. He'll probably jump right back in.
- Cleaned the big oven. That's a messy job.
