Weekend at the Farm April 2 - 3, 2016


Spent Saturday showing Blake and Sammy our new house, then went to see Josh and Amy's new house.  Arrived at the farm Saturday evening.  Spent the evening with Mark and Jere drinking wine and talking about the kids-quite a turn about.  The kids usually get together and talk about us!

Beautiful day on Sunday.  Cool, no humidity, not a cloud in the sky.

Leaf cutter ants stripped my Zepherine Drouhin climbing rose.  It's a once a year bloomer, so it won't have any flowers for another year.  Aargh!

Spent the morning in the Orchard weeding and putting compost around my grapes, all across the arbor beds.  I seeded the area under the grapes with Red Garnet Amaranth and Juana's Orange Amaranth.  The Red Garnet has red leaves and red seeds.  Juana's Orange is an ancient variety with orange seeds.

Spread compost around the Anacanthus in the Star Garden.

Watered the Sweet Olive which I am trying to bring back from the brink.

I spent a couple hours in the Rose Garden watering all the perennials.  It hasn't rained here in a couple of weeks.

Stayed Sunday night and drove back in the morning and got ready for work in the new house - which is very convenient to work.
