Gardener’s Diary: What’s Happening to June?

Next week are the longest days of the year, and we go to pot after that. I can’t believe it’s so soon.

I changed the sheets, did laundry and made some calls, then went with Ron for his 3-week checkup at Dimond’s office. I dropped off Ron’s California return at the Post Office and the braided rug at Capeway Cleaners.

We had a great lunch at Captain Scott’s (half price Tuesday) and stopped at Edgewater to do yard cleanup and pick up the screen door insert, which we dropped off at Botello.

I cleaned up the right side of the front yard at Edgewater in preparation for new mulch. Did some minor cleanup in the rock garden so it looks quite pretty now.

Came home so Ron could ice his knee and so I could transplant a grass and its “child” grasses into our cutting garden. It had been crushed by the beach rose but managed to thrive anyway. I moved the big Rudbeckia to the back.

We drove to Stop & Shop for a slew of meds for Ron and some groceries for the kids, which we dropped off.

Busy and productive day.
