The sunflowers that I put in The Back Bed aren't doing well at all. I just put in some perennial petunias. It needs something there. Since that's about the only thing that wants to live around here, then that's what it will be!

Weeds, weeds, weeds. Where do they all come from?? I did more pulling. I guess I was on a mission. My left foot has now gone kaphlooey. I just got the right one back in commission, and now the left one doesn't work. I decided to force myself to walk correctly, and the pain that shot up from the Achilles, dropped me to my knees! I just couldn't work in the Garden Garden like I had planned. Too much walking. At least I could stand pretty well in one place and pull weeds. At the end of the day while I was porch-sitting and enjoying the birds, I decided to transplant some of the perennial petunias over by the inukshuk where I had put the serrisas to root. I did mention that the serissas burned up there. Not a good idea. I also put some in one of the strawberry pots because the ones I had in there weren't doing well. One pot did and the other didn't. I did notice that I had what looked to be one tiny chive. I'm going to try in The New Daffodil Bed with more chives. I'm not having much luck.

I clipped both of my sun coleus back, and now I'm trying to root them. Then I'll put them back in the pot with the others so that I'll have a big pot full to enjoy on the porch.

Even with fresh nectar in the hummer feeders, I saw not one bird. I did get to enjoy the bluebirds a bit, though.

May is done, but I am not. I intend to do something great today.
