To the farm for one day then to the lake for Easter. M&D, Nan and Lisa, Bert and me, and Blake, Sammy, and Mr. H. Rainy day Friday. Good for the plants, but I wanted to spray herbicide.
- The irises have started to bloom, I will miss the whole thing when I am gone next week. The bloom time for irises is so fleeting! Easy to miss. I fertilized all of this in the early spring / late winter, and it has really made a difference in the number of buds I see this year as compared to previous years.
- Sprayed herbicide around pool, pool area, Infinity Garden, side yard where the 75% sculpture sits, the driveway all the way to the road, the Rose Garden, the Vegetable Garden, and the Star Garden.
- Carol Montgomery stopped by to say hello. She wants Bert to come get some wood from her wood pile.
- My Double Red Althea died, have no idea why so I assume that voles ate all the roots. Years ago I planted 50 Corn Flag bulbs in that same bed and not a single one ever sprouted the following spring. ad to be voles. So this bed must be a favorite spot. At any rate, I planted another Althea called Lucy.
- Watered the tiny morning glory and Hyacinth Bean seedlings that have sprouted along my trellises.
- Planted green beans, cucumbers, and squash - again. None of them sprouted. That is really strange. It's a little late in the season to be planting them I think, but we will have none if I do not.
- I went over to the Greenhouse to take pictures of some blooming Columbine and saw that my Hartlage Sweet Shrub was blooming. It is still very small, so I would have missed it if I had not gone over there.
- Azaleas, daffodils, bluebells, moss verbena, columbine - all blooming.
- Left early on Saturday morning.
