I weeded and spread wood chips over some of the front perennial garden yesterday while my husband mowed the back and sides of the yard. I hope I can finish that, and be excited about lower maintenance of that section of yard once it’s done. I mean, I’m okay with a little weeding…but hate the deep digging up of grasses that have invaded the rose bushes, corabells, hostas, stonecrop, hydrangeas, and lamium. Most of the maple seeds in the back yard were picked up, but I guess we’re bringing out the rake soon, or we’ll be weeding back there, too.
The midwest area of Minnesota is experiencing a dry spell in what is usually a very wet season. My veggies are doing okay, even though I haven’t spent much time in the garden in the past week. But, I still haven’t gotten those vine plants into the ground.
I turned on the sprinkler this morning for about an hour, but noticed the small pint-sized containers with the vine plants are looking pretty sad. I don’t know whether to try to plant them, start over with new ones, or let them go completely – since I’ll most likely be over my head in tomatoes anyhow. Oh, and I was so looking forward to grilled zucchini and letting the kids pick out some pumpkins and watermelon for themselves. I guess I’ll sleep on it and make a decision. Maybe I’ll get the zucchini into the ground tonight if it’s worth it. Bummer if it’s not.
