I am in the process of laying down stones and crushed granite at the entrance to the Star Garden. Below is the area I am working on. And the photo below this one has the stone laid down, no crushed granite yet. I will probably surround the area with landscaping edging to keep the whole thing neat.
Took two days of vacation and spent four days at the farm. Mr. H and Blake, Josh and Amy came to visit. Josh and Amy spent the night. It was really good to be with them.
- Planted 6 Mother of Thyme plants in the Star Garden. Mother of Thyme blooms tiny flowers in the spring in addition to being a a wonderful herb. The bees love it.
- Planted a flat of twelve Venti Parfait Crimson Eye Dianthus and a flat of twelve Diana Blueberry Dianthus in the Star Garden. The voles seem to love Dianthus roots, so I was hesitant to plant more after they decimated my last plantings. But it's one of the only perennials that blooms in the winter and in the cold, early spring and throughout the summer and fall.
- I pulled up the zinnias in four of beds in the Orchard and turned over the soil. I seeded the beds with Dame's Rocket, Mountain Garland, and Moss Verbena.
- Planted Cupani Sweet Peas in the Star Garden.
- Cleaned the house - vacuumed, mopped, laid down floor shine in the bedrooms, living room, and kitchen. Cleaned the bathrooms.
- Did a lot of cooking.
- Shot guns with the kids.
