Another mowing and wacking day,

Tag: blooms ..
then I moved onto potting up some more basil. That went on the deck.Then I moved onto sowing lettuce-Romaine & Boston,under the cuke trellis. Then a line of celery. Unfortunate for me I have errands today. But I think I shall plant this morning early before heading over to Ma's. I'll start with removing the sod clumps in one of the beds,and emptying last years planting pots into it. One of my errands I can do tomorrow to free up today for some more planting time. I got to wacking around the beds again,then got the majority of mowing done. Put on a roast for supper in the crock, checked the mail,moved onto making the next batch of laundry soap.Did some laundry-dishes,then I was a bit pooped and ready for a nap. After I got up,I went at it again,hubby a little late getting home,but with the case of mouse traps under his arm,so it was worth it. After supper we had enough daylight left to tackle the wild outdoors again. Checked over the blueberry bushes again and marveled at the good growth they've got on them in the last year and watched the bumble bees have a good time. This year I'm going to need help with the harvesting-there's no doubt about that. First three rows full & loaded. A good breeze yesterday-otherwise it would have been too hot. We did more wacking and mowing till dark,now I can see my 2 small blueberry bushes in the cement block bed. Today I shall weed the bed and give them some pine needles. Making a list and it keeps getting longer. Full sun today again-hope we have another breezer day or at least partly cloudy will do. By next month alot of this will be done,and I can sit on the deck and watch my stuff growing,but no time right now to do a whole lot of sitting. I have my six blueberry bushes planted nearby the deck.The average family needs four,but I purposely planted the six to make sure I had extra. This year they also have good growth on them, and many berries this season. Time to pick up some more and start the last line going in. Oh, I picked up some yellow Glads too that need to go in somewhere,but this time I think 2 big pots would be nice-and then I wont forget to dig them up in the fall. My Peony has tripled its size finally, just a few more days of sun and it'll bloom also. I've got its final spot picked out near the house where I can enjoy it,but have to wait till its done blooming and cooler weather. My Rhodes have never looked better,and blooming well this season,but a bit overcrowded with the Forsynthia between them. So thats on next years list-to be moved. The male Holly still in his bucket,but since he's blooming,I put him right next to the female at the fence. Hopefully they will like each other and he will pollinate her this year. Hope to get him into the ground this week-today-tomorrow-then both of them moved this fall or next spring to their final home. Whatever planting I have to do I find has to be done during the week, weekends are just too busy with the sale. Ok, time to get cracking and start the day...
