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.

Tuesday, June 18, 2002

Tuesday has been another great day. No rain today, lots of sun, not too hot (yet), no bugs to speak of. Sally and David continued in the upper garden and carts more of weeds have been removed. Lots of mulch has been applied ($40/yd, 8 yards so far this year). The path is well defined. In the heat of the day they treated themselves to lunch in town and then a trip to Agway where 6 roses, a cotoneaster and a potentilla snuck into the back of the station wagon while we were just browsing. Seniors day gave us a discount, so we fessed up and paid for 'em. Half made it into the ground in the afternoon, the rest will have to wait. Also moving two forsythia and the two rugosa will go to their old holes (but the new forsythia holes need to be dug (tough sod and rocks). Might just be ready for the picnic. David has to work tomorrow, so only has 2 1/2 working days left til the hordes descend....
