Diary of a Boy Gardener

We are in the Berkshires, the beautiful rolling hills of western Massachusetts where the season is short and the frosts sometimes win. Visit Sally and David's Gardens and see how two old farts spend their time helping what plants they can find their place in this world.

This is Sunday's diary:
Sally put out her sign again and found a very enthusiastic customer who spent all the money she had ($25) and said she would be back AND she will be telling all her friends about the great place she found !!! Sally continued planting containers and cleaning beds and planting annuals.
David finished leveling out the roadside area (eastern edge under the maple) where plant tables are set up and laid down landscaping cloth and covered with mulch. Ronnie came by and used his the bucket on his tractor to dig out the area where a new retaining wall will be built where the basement sliding door is. Ended up with a really big pile of dirt and exposed some ugly nasties in the block foundation. Then David started cleaning up the eastern road side edge next to the cottage. Sally had earlier removed any nice plants which had wandered into there. Will put down black plastic and cover with gravel. Grass is getting long and mowing is in our future. Monday looks like a good day....
