Good Morning! Here’s my list for today, because I have the day OFF, and the weather looks cooperative, though we might get a quick shower this morning.

* Adding a ‘Sweet Autumn’ clematis to grow up and over the greenhouse. Fall-blooming, very fragrant.

* Adding ‘Heavenly Blue’ Morning Glories to the trellis where my Golden Hops Vine lives. I think the chartreuse and bright blue will look cool together.

* Moving my (too many!) geraniums outside for the summer.

* Planting tomatoes, peppers, squash and some flowers today; all plants are ready to go and sick of being in pots. (They told me that, LOL!)

* Adding basil and nasturtiums to my smaller garden bed. My two youngest (4 & 6) nephews are coming over today to ‘help’ with that. ;)

* Planting three White Cedar (arborvitae) and a White Pine, as well as three White Birch to the yard. Got those FREE from my in-laws; we get the leftovers at the end of Tree Sale Season. That’ll put us at 110 trees planted in 10 years. Screw the EnviroWeenies, LOL!

That should keep me good and dirty all day. :)

My day will be busy also

After 5 days of rain I have to mow the yard just as soon as the dew dries. I will collect some of the clippings for my compost pile.

Get all my tomato plants staked. They needed done last week but there was a rain delay.

Add green to my compost pile and turn it.

Give the dogs a bath!

Hey, Di!

Have to laugh at you planting sweet autumn clematis! It’s a weed here, literally. But beautiful in the fall when the woods are full of it.

White cedar here is a type of cypress that gets about 90 feet tall!

Can’t get nasturtiums to grow here—too hot. :(

Have fun!
