Saturday evening, William and Kim's house. Sunday, Koy's 3rd birthday party at Mark and Jere's house. We drove to the farm after the party.
- I did no work on Sunday beyond watering in the Rose Garden. We have had some good rain in Houston, but none here unfortunately.
- Monday. It was quite humid, and I sweated buckets while I was working. I got rid of all the bad toxins!
- I set about working in the Greenhouse Gardens. I trimmed Elderberry out of pathways. I pulled zillions of weeds. Cut away gingers leaning into the paths. Watered in the whole area. I raked the paths - lot of debris (leaves, twigs, acorns, etc.). I pulled up lots of Gotu Kola that was looking really ragged. I cut away Hojo Santo that was leaning into paths. Threw most of it into the compost pile (those huge leaves make good greens for the compost pile). I also laid a bunch of it down in the flower beds to rot. Yanked up lots of horsetail reed. I made good progress, it looks much better.
- There was a pile of African Hostas in the Medicine Garden that had been turned up by armadillos. I moved a bunch of them to several places to start new stands of them. They multiple so vigorously and they are really pretty.
- Watered in the Rose Garden throughout the day. Bert and I erected a scarecrow in the Rose Garden. The deer have eaten every leaf off my roses. It's a garden of sticks. Maybe the scarecrow will help. Bert pee'd on it. I've read that deer don't like human smell, so I told Bert to pee on it.
- I sprayed herbicide here and there in the Rose Garden, the Star Garden, the Greenhouse Gardens, and the drive way and the Vegetable Garden.
- Deadheaded the zinnias in the Rose Garden.
- I pulled up all the spent zinnias in the Long Border and threw the seed heads in the bed to start more flowers.
- Bert and I pulled up the goat wire arbor in the Vegetable Garden to get rid of the remnants of the birdhouse gourd vine.
- That was all. Headed home.
