A hundred degrees and humid is not the ideal time to be messing with concrete pavers, but it was only a small job, so… I dug out the dirt a little bit; took out weeds, leaves, sticks and anything that would negatively affect the stability of the paver base. I had…I think five bags, and […]
It’s Monday morning, and I did this on Friday, but it was such an adventure that it needs acknowledgement. I have more catching up to do, so I’ll fill in details later…possibly. Oh, my…between my forgetting stupid stuff (like making the gateway IP 192.168.1.1 when it…wasn’t), and Debian being Debian, and Hylafax being highly configurable, […]
I went to Buchheit at lunch to get pavers for the Trash Faerie, and snagged the last two scabiosa. I’d kind of thought that since they’re small, I should’ve got more than three. Anyway, I put them in with the rest, and for the record, they’re ‘Pink Diamonds’. I understand they’re tough to overwinter because […]
The cup plants were waiting for me when I got home, and although it rained much of the day and the ground was very wet, I had to plant them. They don’t mind wet conditions, and they’re native, so I think they’ll be okay. Blurry picture, but I took only one of the clump where […]
Sadly, I had to go back to work in order to get a chance to sit down and rest, so not much to post. Flowers weren’t resting, though. Midnight Marvel Annual mallow. Patio Pink is coming, but not there yet. Mallows are so pretty!
I went to Buchheit first thing in the morning to get concrete edging and mulch. I went with pine bark “just because”. I also got three light blue scabiosa, and a six-pack of Wave pink ‘toonyas; they were 50% off, and looked pretty good. I finally got the ex-lily nightmare finished; I officially have nothing […]
This was very definitely a working holiday! Friday, I finished the patio. Saturday, my big project was digging up the lilies out front I don’t think I took a picture because I was hot, sweaty, and hating ditch lilies. I needed compost, though, and couldn’t finish it. Planted my little fuchsias before starting the lilies. […]
First, a couple from yesterday. I apologised to Hirts even if they were kind of bitchy in saying, “We do not require a signature. Please check with your USPS.” I picked up the package and responded with this picture and the words, “Apparently, you do after all.” Also, yes, it was Plum Crazy. Now…Patio Reclamation, […]
When I got home yesterday, I had 8 nice purple coneflower plants, and a stupid little orange card that says I have to sign for my plants from Hirts. Yay. I blistered the seller for it, but it wasn’t them; USPS fucked up (surprise). Anyway, I planted 5 of the coneflowers in the Honeysuckle Horseshoe […]
