I’ve worked in the garden for I don’t know how long, never really taking a day off. Every spare minute, I’ve been out there, even when it was really too wet, and I needed a break. I’d planned to plant black-eyed susan and butterfly weed when I got home, but I had to do laundry, I was hot and sweaty, and soooo tired, and I said to hell with it. All I accomplished was putting the (very expensive) border on the Virginia snakeroot bed. That’s it. Well, I sprayed insecticidal soap on sunflower aphids and hibiscus sawfly larvae, and deadheaded a few coreopsis, and did laundry, but that’s it. Oh, well…perhaps tomorrow, or on the weekend if there’s a break in the rain. I like the border, at least, and I asked dude to hold off shipping the snakeroot until Monday. The way the mail goes around here, that’s the only safe day.
