Divide and Conquer Update



After collecting my tools and garden cart, I set out to enjoy a sunny afternoon in my gardens ... Status regarding my goals:
  • Compile a list of priority tasks
1. clear and mulch leaves
2. weeding focus: annuals garden areas
3. raised bed: seed planted
4. soak Morning Glory seeds
5. clear around Lonicera Mandarin
6. prune roses (late)
7. prune topiaries

  • Establish gardening zones (in order of priority)
1. Raised bed — lettuce; herbs; tomato and pepper plants
2. Westside gardens continue to de-leaf and clear
3. Front door gardens — clear leaves; color spot; mulching
4. Arch garden — clearing pruning around garden path; color spots
5. Eastside garden — plant Morning Glories in container (to aid reseeding); topiary; color spot
6. Backyard gardens — weeding, weeding, weeding!
7. Frontyard gardens — continue to de-leaf and clear; mulch with newspaper and grass; pruning
  • Delight in my garden-playground!
Accomplished!
