started doing some major garden work today, im so happy!
the suns out...
its still very early in the season but ive found this about the best time in our zone to do most of the heavy work, and were very sheltered up here
today i got a bunch of wood moved to the wood circle, still sooo much more to get moved for the fire pit...
i moved a huge shasta daisy (while its still small enough to do so) as when its in bloom it takes over the path lol
last year we took out a very unhappy pine tree, so i moved the 2 ferns that had been shaded by it to another shaded spot.
some lemon balm got split and moved around and some carpet phlox that was being strangled by the mother lemon balm plant got shifted so its got more roo to stretch its legs...
and i moved the grape vine that for the past 2 years has been fighting with my wysteria vine to a new much sunnier spot where it wont have to compete for light this year, its on its 3rd year so we should be getting grapes by this year and its still tiny so im hoping moving it to a brighter spot will give it a boost., we have 2 vines that were hidden i moved the other one a few weeks ago and its done the trick, the poor little thing thats done nothing for 3 years doubled in size in a week just having extra sun.
the grape however did give me a good fight though...
and i managed to gash my arm on the trellis...but its just a sign i was doing it right lol.
so yay gardening. next week ill be getting some plants to start going in to the bare spots.
i LOVE this time of year, i always start doing stuff around now and always have good luck
weve got 2 blueberries and 2 raspberries in too and the chickencoop underway, i want to get some strawberries in asap but ive got to figure out where there going, and weve got a fence to move, and mum wants some fruit trees put in up on the hill this year...
ive got some sunflower seeds and morning glory seeds to go intoo but im not sure where, im thinking of putting some sunflower seeds along the chicken run fenceline, as they can eat the seeds as they fall, mabe even some of the morning glory seeds to climb all over the run, there anuals here
all kinds of plans
so what are you planning in your garden this year?
