Movie with Josh Friday night. Shopping with Blake on Saturday. To the farm Saturday evening. One and a quarter inch of rain Sunday night. Stayed Sunday and went to work Monday morning straight from the farm.
- Cleared some more of the land across from the house. We're making progress. I can't believe I thought it would only take five or six days of work to get the whole area cleared. It's taken a lot more than that!
- I dug up some gingers from the back yard in Houston. I planted the gingers in the Medicine Garden. It's pretty shady there.
- I also dug up a clump of bulbs from the yard in Houston. They have never bloomed, at least not in my memory. I don't even know what they are since I haven't seen any flowers. After I separated all the bulbs (they were crowded and stuck together in a mass of roots) there were more than 50. I planted some of them in the newest bed in the Infinity Garden. I planted some next to the bulbs that I dug up on Nixon Lake Rd. I planted some of them underneath the Bermuda's Kathleen rose and around the tree in the Rose Garden.
- Moved some Columbine seedlings that were growing in the path. I moved them into the bed where the Ligularia is growing.
- Spent a long time in the Rose Garden deadheading.
- I pulled up one of the Mexican Sunflower plants that fell over under its own. I gathered a bunch of the seed heads, and I am drying them out to plant next summer.
- We moved some cedar logs around the Rose Garden to define a path leading into the garden and a path to the arbor entrance at the Long Border. It created a large area that I will seed with wildflowers. I loosened some of the soil and seeded part of the area with Purple Tansy.
- Planted 8 creeping Winter Savory in the Infinity Garden. It is a perennial herb, and I'm hoping it will spread and cover up some bare spots.
- I planted 3 cabbage plants - one Early Jersey and two Veronica Romanesco in the Vegetable Garden.
