It’s summer, what can I say??
\nI had a lovely time in the garden on Sunday. Usually I go out early in the day, between 5:00 and 9:00, but I overslept last Sunday. I went out at 10:00 and worked for three hours. By the time 1:00 rolled around, I was more than ready to quit, but I’d had a very satisfying morning.
\nI went out this morning to take pictures to make it easier for you to understand what I’m writing about, and discovered the battery on my camera was dead. I prefer early morning for herb garden pictures because you aren’t distracted by shadows and the colors are gentler. It just wasn’t to be. Maybe I can get the pictures later today.
\nI finished cutting back the chives, and I’m halfway through the oregano. I clipped off the top of the basil to keep it from flowering, and brought the leaves in to make pesto<\/a>, and I harvested the first of the cherry tomatoes.
\nI also cleaned out the east walkway inside the garden. If you wet the chat down first, it’s not a bad job. I left one of the poppies and two other groups of volunteer plants that are growing in the walk, at least for now..
\nSince I never remember to take before and after pictures, I left the west walkway until I could get a picture. There’s still some work to be finished from this Spring’s renovation, but it’s minimal. Eventually, I hope to add more chat to the walkway, and we might even consider laying the bricks that are supposed to cover the chat.
\nOnce I’ve finished the weeding, I need to mulch the herb garden. It will help to keep moisture in and may save a plant or two if I fail to water regularly.
\nThe chipmunk that lives at the back door decided he didn’t like the rudbeckia that I had planted above his home. He burrowed around two sides of it, and it was in pretty bad shape, so I moved it into the herb garden. I have two lavenders to plant, as well.
\nI suppose when you look at the list of things I’ve been doing the word “WORK” floats through your mind. Well, it IS work, but the grounds look so nice once it’s done that it seems like a worthwhile way to fill my time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
