Gardener’s Diary

Poor Ron has been in airports and on planes for almost the whole day, while I was lucky enough to have a great day on the ground.

Picked up and planted 8 Gerbera (pronounced GER’bera) daisies to give us some color in the back before the summer flowers kick in. Looks like we’ll have irises really soon.

Finally finished the grass plugs in the front lawn, at least as many as I have the stamina to do. In the process, I dug up a dozen or so grubs, so mowed and put down Spectracide. I’ll water tomorrow, but left the back for Ron, who likes outdoor work.

Met this morning with the mortgage specialist at Rockland Trust and put in an application for a fixed-rate, 20-year loan to refinance Edgewater.
