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 started with watering again. Since there has been no rain for a week now water is needed on plants other than those in containers. David watered everything which ended up taking over 4 hours. Gave the 3 blueberry bushes a shot of miracid and some sawdust mulch. Fixed Sally's signe and hung it out again. Sally cleaned out a lot of the small plants by putting them in gallon pots. This had David screening soil and compost, then mixing them with potting soil. Filled big trashcan with mix and she used most of it. By mid day it got hot and muggy so Sally went in to tidy up her workroom for anticipated guest visits and David did the diary and added the first of the Franklin County Farm and Garden Tour pix to the web site.
