I’m so behind in my garden work. I think I’ll finally have the summer work finished when autumn hits.
As I’ve said before I just haven’t been feeling well enough to get into the garden daily, sometimes not even once a week. I almost don’t dare walk in the garden as I see all the work that needs to be done and if I’m not up to doing it, it tears at me.
On Sunday we got some work done in the garden. My husband was out weeding the front boulevard flowerbed and he put up these 1.5 foot by 1.5 foot bamboo type fence things in front of the flowerbed where it meets the sidewalk. It looks good.
Over the last two weeks in my two or so garden work visits I’ve managed to plant all the roses that I purchased in June, one honeysuckle – why did I buy two? I’ve already got a dropmore!, a hydrangea, and two clematis vines.
We had purchased three new passion flower vines. Those I did not plant. I kept them in the containers they came in and placed them where I could make the vines grow on an object (bird feeder pole) or fence. I have to bring the passion flower vines and other tropical plants indoors once it gets cool so there’s no point in planting them.
We still need to put down the composted soil that we recovered from our composter a couple of months ago, and we haven’t even put mulch down on the flowerbeds yet. See I’m behind.
Are you behind in your garden work too?
