Just a Workin’ in the Yard
What have I been up to? Working my ass off, that’s what! ;-)
After mowing & edging Saturday I planted one of the back flower beds:
Yup, pretty much the same as last year.
Today I knocked out the following:
Installed 2 new bracket for hanging backets — the old ones weren’t big enough. The screws holding them in were rusted and it took quite a bit of muscle and WD40 to get them out!
Last year I planted some basil, but decided this year to put it in a pot so I can take it in when it gets cold next winter. A coworker had given me some oregano, and I bought some more basil and some flat leaf parsley. So I put them all in one pot just outside the back door, next to one of our rosemary bushes:
I also replanted our other back flower bed — purple shamrocks (which are perennials) and white caladiums (which I learned this year are NOT):
I also planted a tomato plant in a Home Depot bucket that I drilled some holes in – I didn’t have a pot big enough, and wasn’t ready to dig up a spot for a mini garden just yet. I think where I had it last year (where the herbs are now) didn’t get enough sun, so I’ve got it on the back (west) side of the house where it’ll get plenty of sun.
