Gardener’s Diary – Last Saturday in May

Motivated by a dead-on accurate psychic “vibe”, I picked up five lupine at the N. Falmouth CC plant sale yesterday. Replanted the Lord Baltimore and for some much-needed color, put in the Gerberas and begonias from the Methodist church sale on Friday.

This garden should, indeed, be near God’s heart, if God is a Protestant.

Fed in the morning. Watered, which was good, we had a brief but ineffective rain shower late in the day.

Peter Randall was kind enough to schedule his regular service visit first thing, so I could touch base with him on a couple of items.
Did two transfer station runs with old furniture from Edgewater.

Dropped Robert off for sailing; they had a great day with plenty of wind.

Dug out a small plot for the tomatoes and any other vegetables that may outgrow the Earth boxes. Was thinking how pleased Carolyn would be to see how well they’ve worked out.

Decided to put off painting the front of the house until the Fall, after the plants are done for the year. Who knows, maybe I’ll be able to afford to replace the windows by then.

Peter is making progress with the contractors, we are waiting for a date for the project. Can’t wait to see the house looking good.

Supposed to be a steamer off-Cape today, headed to Newton for Cara and Ed’s wedding.
