I started on Saturday morning and got all of the marigolds planted at Jennifer's house, 8 large pots for mosquito repellent. I sure hope it works as well this year as last year. Races were rained out so we went shopping for the afternoon.
Sunday I managed to get most of my flowers planted until I ran out of dirt. I only have 1 pot of marigolds left so will get those done this week. It was in the high 80s so I didn't really mind running out of dirt. haha
Yesterday I had the day off so I needed a project to make the day count. It was 86 again and muggy to boot. Put the fan on the porch and made my start.

ReplyDeleteIt's so good to be here again reading your garden posts. You have been hard at work already and I have barely started. Isn't it strange how different things are in our parts of the country. But it is a big country afterall, so I shouldn't be surprised. It's just that the use of computers makes it seem much smaller. I loved all your beautiful iris.
ReplyDeleteThe water feature is a wonderful addition too. I loved this walk through the garden with you today Sandy!
hugs from here...
