This weekend:
* Weeded last of the back beds, from the cafe ole roses to the Japanese cedar.
* Thinned 3/3 of the arugula. The third sowing was done in the same pot that held cilantro last year and there are a few cilantro starts coming up also.
* Repaired the support structure for the climbing rose on the sidewalk strip, damaged in Saturday's surprise storm.
* Added more dirt to support the bases of all the snap peas and sweetpeas planted previously.
* Now that the apple trees have gotten a few good rains in, I created burms around them and added a small protective fence. Between them I planted a Verbena bonariensis (perennial) and some seeds of Jupiter's Beard Centurion's Shield.
* In the snap pea bed planted another Verbena bonariensis.
* In the small bed in the front yard, planted five seeds of Muskmelon Cantaloupe Earlichamp.
* In the jasmine bed in the front yard, planted a Yarrow Achillea Walter Funcke and a Verbena Obsession Apricot (annual).
* In the kiwi bed, planted a culinary sage Salvia officinalis Berggarten.
* Planted two foxgloves Digitalis Alba in the back beds, near the fence, behind other plants.
* Chopped down and dug up a wheelbarrow full of sneaky blackberries.
* Noticed several plants budding and near blooming already: roses, alliums, peony, columbines, and two of the lavenders (white and Spanish) !
:)
* Went to the new King Neighborhood Farmers Market and bought herb starts, English Thyme and French Tarragon.
