The calendar is slipping by... one day becomes the next before I know it. This summer has been busy. The rain has started coming again. It has it been raining. Like clockwork, afternoon, here comes the rain. The garden is growing... green everywhere. (Weeds, included). Time for vacation, leaving in a couple of days. I won't have time to weed. I won't have time to plant the last of the plants.
I took back a pile of empty pots to recycle. It is scary how many pots I gather up in just one season. I am really happy with how the garden has progressed this year. The rain has helped. I want to keep the momentum going for next year... (what, already planning for next year? isn't that what gardeners do?). When I get back from my trip I will post pictures and progress photos. The side garden is filling in nicely. The pond area has been replanted. This year I put up a fence to keep the dogs from trampling over everything... so hope that helps everything survive.
Cleaned the east and west side of the yard. And this fall it will be time to manicure and prep for next year. Put the yard to bed with a nice layer of compost and mulch.. to enrich the soil for some fruit trees on the east side of the yard.
Also prepping to paint. And have lots of ideas in mind for splashing color all over the garden. I spend too much time at my other jobs so much so that I don't get enough time to work in my yard. So little changes here and there are the best I can do... for now.
Have a great rest of July... Later.
