Quick trip up here to organize the place for our next group of Airbnb guests. Arrived after work on Tuesday, worked from here on Wednesday.
- It looks like the repair job that Bert did on the armadillo barriers in the Rose Garden is only partly working. They are still getting in somewhere. I did a little repair job by closing up a few gaps that might be possible entrance spots.
- Spot watered in the Water Garden and the Rose Garden.
- Pulled some weeds.
- Sowed some white Cypress vine seeds in the Water Garden.
- I planted an orange Aloe 'AnDora' in a pot next to the pool. I cleaned up all the pots of dead winter debris while I was over there and pulled out little weeds that had sprung up. I need to buy some new plants to fill those pots. All of the sedums are okay, but the aloes don't make it through a zone 8b winter. I buy drought tolerant plants to put in the pots around the pool because I don't want yet ANOTHER area that I need to keep irrigated. Some drought tolerant plants are winter hardy and some are not. By the end of fall I don't have the energy to drag heavy pots into a protected area. I need to invest in one of those 2-wheeled carts that are used to move heavy things. Maybe this is the year...
- Watered all the pots in the Medicine Garden.
- I soaked some morning glory seeds and sowed them along the fence line of the Rose Garden entrance. Split Second morning glory - they are doubles, I've never grown them before.
- Headed home after work.
