I planted five of my containers. Yikes! I have so many more to go, but it is way more fun buying the flowers for the deck and patio than it is weeding all the beds! I am going to be so sorry in a couple of weeks if I don't get out in the evenings to weed.

Thanks for reminding me-I need to get a new heating pad. Loaned ours to someone and never got it back. Ha. Hope you find you don't need it.

I continued weeding out Aster 'October Skies' from a flower bed, it's been in the garden for years but I haven't been too crazy about it. It's definetly happy where it's planted and spread throughout the area so I have to be careful not to damage other plants while removing it. I also took out two yellow knockout roses and planted a couple roses from the Easy Elegance series. Snowdrift and Sunrise-Sunset are their names I believe.

Not much in my own garden I'm afraid. The other night I did manage to pull some clover/weeds out of a three foot section (pitiful, I know), plant my new variegated comfrey and a few annual pots and shuffle them around.

In my defense, I've been planting annuals by the hundreds the past week and will again for the rest of this one. Plus making sure a few thousand plants at work are watered, lol. After that I will be getting my two days off again and can get in my garden again! I'm excited.

On my agenda is weeding, weeding, weedling, LOL. The dreadful Campanula ramp(sp?) is going everywhere. Need to start using my compost too, there are areas that could use it. A co-worker may be stopping by to see things, so I hope to get things a bit more ship-shape before then. We're also going plant shopping at other nurseries, so I'm sure there will be at least a few things to get in the ground ;-)

Nothing much today. I just checked to make sure soil moisture was good for tomatoes...then just strolled the beds. Happy to see the trillium I received from a coworker transplanted successfully!

Peonies and clematis getting ready to bloom. Also may night salvia, a couple different geraniums, and many dianthus. I do see some powdery mildew starting on a lot of my phlox :(. Not surprised with all the rain and humidity we've had here, and lots more expected. Everything else is filling out nicely....

Next on my list is weeding around junipers I planted on my front steep hill...(hate that hill!)

cyn, are you doing annuals in your pots? How many pots do you do? I usually only do a few but I have some questionable suspects that I'm afraid to put in open ground!

Marlorena, I thought you were going to say you walked around and around looking for a place to put a plant--one of my favorite exercises...

DJ, it's no fun performing surgery in the garden, is it!? Done that more than a few times!

There you are, Christin! No wonder you haven't been on much. Glad you'll soon be getting some time to garden at home!

GH, I hear ya! Yesterday I was on a slope--no fun but it looks a whole lot better LOL! Now, to just maintain it! It's barked but has a few spots where the soil is exposed--another chore!

I weeded in some out of the way places today--got a wheelbarrow full of mostly small, tufted grass that's in flower. Hate this stuff but it's my own fault--even though it's small, it's tough to pull by hand. I'm finally getting close to be done planting (?) in this area and hope to feed, water, amend and mulch it soon!

..I'm always doing that catkin... that goes without saying... it gets tiresome when you've run out of spaces.... I keep hearing ''there's always room for another''.... I mean, where...?

...today I did some watering as it's been very dry here lately....

Just about all weeded! Two more wheel barrows full...hopefully planting and transplanting tomorrow!

I am in the process of moving and dividing a number of daylilies as they are now in too much shade, digging up and potting seedlings. Of course weeding, weeding, weeding. Have started staking my big guys - persicaria polymorpha, lespedezas, baptisias. I have to laugh when I see in gardening magazines all those designs for 'sitting areas' in the garden. HA! I don't the resident gardener would ever use them. Too much to do and so little time.

Took it easy today..wanged my lower back out weeding/contorting in the depths of the borders the last couple of days.
