Some of my garden posts this year might be more for myself than anyone else. I want to create a "ta-da list," ( got this term from one of Julia Cameron's books) and a "to-do list" each week. One of the things I'm finding valuable is being able to look back at last years photos and some of my blog posts as a record of what I was doing, and where the garden was at certain points.
What was accomplished:
- Moved another rose, plus three other shrubs. Part of the "master plan" is for most of the roses to be all together along the side of the house and for all the shrubs and perennials to be along the fence lines. This will give me more privacy and structure. Really wish I'd thought more about this five years ago.
- Planted peas: sugar snaps mostly.
- Pruned seed pods off perennials, the raspberries, and removed one dead rose.
- Pulled a lot of grass out from around the roses.
To-do for next dry weekend day:
- Move all sage plants to along the back fence.
- Plant bare root trees that are coming (hazelnuts and cherries).
- Prune on the large apple tree some more.
- Plant sweet peas and poppies.
- Build my four square raised bed section. One of the beds is already made and planted with garlic. The other three beds will be for onions, potatoes, and shell beans.
- Pull more dead grass that should have been taken care of last fall!
