Completing academic endeavors (my own and as a tutor and home school mom) as well as a relaxing vacation at the beach have delivered me a tad late in my full-time garden work. However, glorious and wonderful experiences are always worth the time and rearranging of one's hobbies.
So, let me get started with this May's list and notations ...
Backyard lawn — still working on coverage and soil amendments; planning to purchase herbicide (gasp! for this typically organic gardener) and consult with Marcum's experts about soil conditioning.Immediate:
- transplant perennials around roses
- transplant Moneywort aka Creeping Jenny
- prune topiary
- prune vinca
- plantings
Frontyard gardens — continue to de-leaf and clear; mulch with newspaper and grass; pruning
Front door gardens — pot for miniature shrub; annuals for color; cotton seed hulls for mulch
Arch garden — fushia impatiens; stepping stones elevated; pruning around garden path
Window garden — transplant phlox; prune vinca with shears; prune crepe myrtles
Backyard gardens —
Raised bed — tomato and pepper plants
