What's on my mind is getting a 12
foot tree home in a small Honda Fit that has 6ft length inside. Along with 5
LARGE bags of mulch, 3 paver squares, one Boston fern, 2 trellises 2 bags of
puppy pads and assorted misc. Throw in a "to go" bag of food from
McDonald's and that described my late morning errands.
The tree is a Corkscrew Willow tree that will grow maybe to 30ft and it will have some very interesting branch growth, colorful leaves in the fall and shade in the summer. Yay!
I dug up and weeded another small patch in the garden, I transplanted some marigolds and salvia flowers, laid some more mulch, contributed a lot of sweat to the garden, and laid 2 pavers down.
I am unable to do anymore. I may lose a couple of salvia flowers that need transplanted but I can't do anymore today. <sigh>
I still need to plant some seeds that I ordered - huge marigolds for the back of the garden that helps keep grubs out of the flowers, smaller marigolds for the front and a "Love Lies Bleeding" - I ordered them late but I'm hoping they'll take for a summer/early fall blooming season.

I'm excited about that one and the soapwort
beginning to look like a garden
The Honda Fit. Note the small size that is very deceptive. This little car can hold a LOT
Salvia - Victoria White

Dear Facebook; what is on my mind
is plants and more plants. Our neglected garden is finally looking like we give
a hang - for at least half of the bed so far. Today I planted a tall salvia, a
Persian Shield, and a lower growing salvia, transplanted some marigolds, hung a
hammock in the screen porch, spread mulch, transplanted a citronella plant
(have 2 more to transplant) and watered everything.
Yes, the gardening bug has gone into overdrive in my system. I got up at 8am despite plans of sleeping in and taking the Sabbath off all work. No, I wake up early thinking about the garden bed and anxious to do more digging. WTH? Instead of more books and action figures (or desperately needed clothes) I'm using "fun" money to buy mulch and plants.
So between setting up the computer I'm also gardening. Time to stop, however. My back is protesting the work and the rest of the body is protesting the 90F temp.
