Up and at em early today .. the weather reports mention that this morning will be sunny and the afternoon will be clouding over.
Much as I don’t want to believe that the weather will be changing .. I do have to accept the possibility. So, I’m out the door shortly and will focus on creating order out of chaos .. working on the middle section of the back yard. Planning to create a little propagating space.
Yesterday I finished planting the garlic in the newly shaped garden area. Although I still have some bulbs that I most likely will plant in pots and along the sides of the yard.
This little propagating space will be my sparkly area. Here I’ll use my funky garden items. Some glass blocks (from a window); some stained and coloured glass panes (from our old windows); a lovely old garden gate; a tin washing tub; an old garden plough;
There are short ends of wood (from our newly built steps) and I plan to put these on broken cinder blocks (which I’ll paint with my lavender paint). These will become little garden benches or ground shelves.
Lots of ideas … looking forward to playing around today.
Then there are the quantity of perennials that need to be in the ground for the winter. So I’ll dig them in and top them off with my miracle mulch.
After all this activity .. it will be time to go around the yard, thin out the raspberry canes, mulch the ground … think that will take me into tomorrow.
Anyway, mug of Y tea … gardening outfit and outside! Lots of birds to see today.
