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.

Finally a great day!
David worked the western edge of the upper garden after mowing for an hour (wet grass, who cares anymore). Sally also was weeding in that area and plucking our orphans for planting elsewhere or for sale. David finally moved the last of the forsythia to where it belongs and pulled a rose out of the lawn and sent it back into the garden where it belongs. After lunch it was more containers for Sally. She did the porch hanging baskets and some of the outbuildings. Meanwhile David was busy hauling and cleaning up piles left during the rain. About 17 wheelbarrows over the edge today. Whew !!! It's never enough and hopefully the improvements last a bit. A bunch of mulch is showing up over the weekend along with some heavy duty landscaping cloth (not your normal Wal*Mart stuff). This will go down on the driveway that farmer Ronnie scuffed off a few days ago. Once the 3/4" stone arrives on Monday, the place will get real spiffy!
