I got distracted this week with genealogical research. \u00a0It’s addictive, and I missed some important tasks, like enlarging the newest garden so I could transplant James’ strawberries, which I’d put in a bucket with a now-fetid solution of Neptune’s.<\/p>
I built out the garden and had enough fencing to surround the new strawberry plot. \u00a0The smell was horrific for a while, but flies loved it.<\/p>
I planted the new lavender with the newest grass mini-island. \u00a0The monarda has started to bloom, a miniature version with bright pink flowers. \u00a0The grass seems to have taken, which is a relief.<\/p>
I tied up the foxgloves in the front and pulled out a weedy vine that was troubling the Lady’s Mantle.<\/p>
Planted the three Balloon Flowers in the corner garden.<\/p>
Wisteria is blooming and smells divine.<\/p>
Got two sets of “Grumpy Fucker” mugs and t-shirts yesterday.<\/p>
Drove Robert home. \u00a0Steak and salad for supper.<\/p>
Had coffee and a great conversation with one of my fellow Trustees yesterday.<\/p>
