Subject: [Organic_Gardening] it's in finally it's all in....

Well between frosts and snow the first week of June...then a downpour pretty
much every day except two and those I worked...but it is done. I had to take
holidays to do it and I had to time it between thunderstorms but I did it. It is
in. I am not doing another blessed thing...I ache everywhere. It is planted,
weeded, and mulched, every pot is filled, the wonderful two inch corsican mints
and wooly thyme that I got for 79 cents each are planted among the stepping
stones by the rain barrels, the old gate is now in my garden to act as a potting
bench, the potatoes in barrels are pretty much topped up, the tomatoes are
staked.....it's finally in.

Hmmmmm.....now what, what to do next now that the vegie gardens are all planted
and ready to go, I still have three days of holidays left...hmmmmm

Oh yeah on tomorrow's list...
weed out the berry hedge, transplant the escapees back into the hedge, clean out
the pond, check the pump and get that going. Then I can weed under the deck to
the front yard and start weeding all of those beds. I think I will weed them out
once and then I will mulch the dickens out of those. Then I have the bake oven
to finish, the garage to clean out, an arbor to build...maybe with that last six
pack of moonflowers...I have a spot for a tree I think a pear, and I am watching
for blueberry bushes to go on sale, I have some lovely composted leaf mold and
composted spruce needles to work into that bed, ......
and if I get that all done....there are still hostas that need to be moved, and
about five more beds that I would eventually like to build, and a hoop house,
and a better potting shed, and I would love to talk to the county about
collecting some wild edibles and medicinals to put into the beds, then there is
the expansion of the patio, the pruning, and more weeding, and more weeding....

a gardener's work is never done....we just dream bigger.
Cheers
from a very stiff and satisfied
Bina

The summer is here, and like all true northern gardener I smell of soil, Off and
liniment...and look slightly crazed.
