Gardener’s Diary

Glad to see the rain today, really wanted to rest, it’s been a busy week, and a busy day planned for tomorrow.
Got to a task left over from last year: deep-pruned the small holly, which once again has black mold on the leaves. I’m hoping that the pruning technique Candy and I used on the front inkberries, which are healthy and beautiful this year, will work as well on the holly. Pruning from the inside-out is hard work and murder on the arms, but the results are impressive.
Meet with Kelly and Ed Reed yesterday to get their bid on siding at Edgewater and replacement of the front door and front stairs. Kelly is a natural teacher, she’d be great for IFG!
Did some weeding yesterday at Edgewater, dug up grass clumps that I’ve been wanting to clean up for quite some time.

Last Electrical class was last night. Some of us are looking forward to plumbing, which starts next week.
