This weekend:
* Extended Saturday morning walk to Garden Fever, bought a few gladious bulbs and a couple of plants. No dahlia bulbs to be had.
* In the herb bed, planted English thyme and French Tarragon.
* Moved old raised bed and re-built soil from ground up. Covered with red plastic to prepare for tomato starts next week.
* Weeded strip between patio and the raised beds, and began adding layers of washed pebbles.
* Mowed front, side (North), and back yards. Killed my arms! And why does it smell like blueberry poptarts?
* Saw a lot of wasps/hornets in yard so carefully examined house exterior and other likely hideouts for nests. Found nothing.
* Placed ladybugs on the roses with mites. Waiting for the magic to happen.
* Planted mixed gladious in the sweetpea bed, which is also a cut flower bed.
* Planted Astilbe Arendsii Amethyst near the lilac.
* Planted Daisy Clara Curtis in the crocosmia bed, and another in the sweetpea bed.
* Near the large cold bin, planted Phygelius Janet's Tears.
* Near apples, planted a chinese lanterns start.
* Uncovered and placed both BBQs, happy that no pests wintered over in them. :)
* Uncovered picnic table.
* Cleaned covers.
* Went to Portland Nursery on Stark. Also no dahlia bulbs! Wah!
