Planted some Poppies
The lettuce is doing EXCELLENT being brought in and debugged every day. My little petunia on the other hand, I will have to start doing the same with that as well. Today I will clean the pot and dead head all the straggly pieces. I hope it pulls thru, I have had it so many years now.
I just cleaned under its pot for its nightly transport and found about a billion slugs under the pot. I hate killing things so I collected them and put them in the grass. Its a very heavy pot so I will have to get "Dolly" to help me with it. Dolly is one of those smaller dolly cart things. Will keep you all updated. Well this Spring for whatever reason has been a pretty much bust, I don’t know if it was the soil or the weather or what happened. I am now collecting Petunia and Poppy seeds. I suppose the only real thing to report aside from everything dying which I just don’t want to think about it is. I finally trimmed my 3 year old Jasmine in the pot and I was terrified to do that because I never had before. It seems to have liked it quite a bit though, it’s growing new shoots and seems to be looking like by the Fall it might flower again.
I am already planning for next year’s Spring / Summer garden – never too early, right ? LOL |
