I had an excuse Monday, but my only excuse yesterday was that I was kind of lazy, and got the new weed whacker, so I wanted to play with that and didn’t plant anything. I’ve been lazy, but I can’t say the same for the Virginia creeper around the pond. It’s been rather busy, and […]

I was late getting home yesterday because I had an appointment with the chiropractor. The glorious, wonderful chiropractor who fixed my neck, prescribed ice for the inflammation, and got rid of my headache. Anyway, I didn’t accomplish much, but nearly as much after work as I’d done in all of last weekend because I was […]

I accomplished very, very little this past weekend because Saturday was a “throw up my coffee and spend the entire day with ice on my head”, and Sunday was “Dragging my arse, still have a dull ache behind my eye, and have to do laundry.” After I threw up my coffee on Saturday, I felt […]

I knew it was going to rain on Saturday, so when I got home from work on Friday, I planted the ‘Baby Sun’ coreopsis I’d just got, and the four ‘Balmy Purple’ bee balm I’d had for a while. Both in the NoMo flowerbed. I was up fairly early on Saturday, and it was raining, […]

I haven’t done much this week except plant random seeds here and there, but would’ve posted these on Thursday afternoon…if the database server hadn’t been down for two days(!!) Black ‘toonyas! I saw these and bought a whole flat because they’re so cool. They look actually black IRL; a bit purple in the photo. I […]

It was hot in the sun, so I certainly didn’t feel like digging grass out of the NoMo flowerbed, but it was lovely in the shade, so I comprised. I didn’t do any heavy work, but I did do a little. This morning, I pruned the Tornado Honeysuckle, and found several pieces near the ground […]

I marked out the NoMo flowerbed this morning, and planted two Red Heart Althea, two Royal Red and one Black Knight butterfly bushes. I hated to cut down Grey Stick, but it didn’t make it. 🙁 Purple bee balm closer to the front. More Veronica and a few Blue Hill Salvia in the Bee Happy […]

I’d hoped my Luna moth would be a guy because I love their giant “antlers”. She wasn’t a guy, but she did even better by being a girl and attracting a guy! It was rainy and crappy, but I went out yesterday after work, wandering in search of a place to put my bee hoce, […]

I finished tired, hot, sweaty, dirty, and scratched up, but I finished! I hate weeding and clearing dead stuff from that goddamned flowerbed, but it looks so nice when everything is in bloom that I have to do it. I planted four more dwarf butterfly bushes, so that’s ten, and most of the way down […]

I got the expanding foam yesterday, so I made a proto-floatie, just to see whether it would work, and how much foam I’d have to put on what size piece of leftover pond liner. Not the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen, but that wasn’t the goal this time. It works just fine, and that’s all […]
