August Vibes
For August, the weather hasn't been too bad with warm to mild temperatures and several marine layers this week that have lasted until noon. In addition to getting some gardening chores accomplished, I took some photos - Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
I replanted my corn this weekend, cantalopes, cucs and watermelon. I have 3 tomatoes ready for the garden that I've been growing since Nov, but they didn't make it there. I have several small heirloom ones in the greenhouse. Finally started cleaning my flower beds last week. May have to hire some one to help before my open garden May 26. Tomorrow is another day. Mary
ReplyDeleteI have tried that Jacobs ladder with no luck. I will be curious to see if yours does well. Maybe it needs your weather for it to thrive. Don't you just love those sale aisles?? You never know what you will find.
ReplyDeleteI love your Jacob's ladder. I looked it up online to learn about it, as I have never grown one. It prefers "high quality natural habitats", I can't think of a better garden or gardener for it than you. Hope you enjoy it for years to come. Your blog is a joy to read and very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWe had frost a couple of nights this week - so we had to hold off planting tender things just yet. Never before tax day is the saying around here.
ReplyDeleteYou've been very productive. Hope it all grows well.
ReplyDeleteMy sister grows the perennial walflower 'Bowles mauve' and it's nigh on perfect. Flowers for ages and is easy to take cuttings from.
