Gardener’s Diary

It’s been on the cool side and gloomy, which suits some of us just fine, especially since June – hotter than blazes for the last two years – is looming.
Busy day yesterday now that I think about it:
Found and planted some old nasturtium seeds.
CM deep-pruned one of the bushes in the front, and it looks 1000% better already. She offered to help with more pruning this weekend.
Locked myself out and Peter came over with the keys I’d given him only two weeks ago. While waiting, I did some long (years) overdue weeding in the back and afterwards, mowed. The back really looks like a wasteland now, but at least it’s no longer a potential haven for mice.
Davey Tree came back to CM’s for winter moth treatment, and they had time to do the yard here as well. They’ll give us an estimate for 11 Edgewater. We’re a little late this time, but they’ve got us on the schedule for next year.
