another weekend!

Happy Easter!

Apr 24: finished planting purple hedge in island bed. Butterfly visited while everything was still in pots, I think he approves.

Found 3 mystery plants at Lows sale table for $1.79 each. They're in great shape and say perennial. Bought'em. Added to the other side of the island bed.

Found a big plumbago at the sale for $5. Planted in island near the hedge hole.

Compost: 2 bags
No new driplines, the existing work fine.

Tried to fill in the other hedge gap by moving plants from back yard to the front. But those plants in the back are older and looked comfy there, so I skipped it. Another weekend, another trip to lowes.

Stolen neighbor plants are totally happy in new home.

First trip to the free mulch pile in the park. That's all it is too, a pile of free mulch in the parking lot of the baseball field. Shoveled it into the back of the CRV, went to garden center to buy a wheelbarrow. Found a wheelbarrow alternative that is smaller and I like very much. I will miss a real wheelbarrow, but I have no space so this will do.

Mulch went in the back path, looks great. And hardly any glass shards. No really, it doesn't look like store bought stuff, but c'mon, it's free.

Sprayed soap stuff on the backyard. Orchard spiders are out, bleah.

Watered everything new, the heat is making them dramatic.

Bluebirds and mockingbirds fight for the birdbath!! Fun to watch from inside where they cannot peck me.
