This is the blog for Wednesday. It was another very busy and productive day. Sally painted a shutter and started to clean up the temporary potting area where the compost was delivered. She also started planting lots of the 4" pots into various gardens, especially the borders. She also worked the raised beds near the triangle, which involves cutting back tree roots, adding soil, and planting. Here went more herbs and annuals.
Meanwhile David started the day designing and making the first set of panels for the pergola. Manufactured the U-channel, trimmed down the lattice, cut the channel to length, then up to the site to mount after applying a quick coat of white primer. Sally likes it and so the other three should go faster. After lunch David watered and fed all the roses with Neptune's bounty (1st time for that, had been using kelp from Maine). After rosed done put the Miracid sprayer on and watered all the evergreens and heather on both banks. By then it was 5:30 and David was going to blog the day, but we got a call to come pick up some bittersweet. A friend was available with his pickup, so we drove the 12 miles into town and packed up a truck full. By the time we got home we realized we should watch the weather report, as it seemed threatening. Violent storms appear to be approaching, so we had to bring everything in again, and put row covers over the vegetables. Then came the show, which was major lightening and pouring rain. Lucky for us there wasn't too much gusting wind and no hail. Anyway, had to unplug the computer so still no blogging, and so a day late with this.
As for today, it will rain all morning and David has to work this afternoon and evening, so we may not have much gardening to report. Later....
