Gardener’s Diary: Soakers, Pruning

Ron finished the tree trimming and we took a load to the transfer station along with the broken hose holder.

I made a package for Big Brother/Big Sister. We emptied the credenza and brought it outside, but they don’t take furniture, and I couldn’t find anyone else who wanted it. So, the credenza is in the basement, for Ron to study and maybe to fix.

I pruned three hydrangeas – four to go, including the front – and all the big roses; have the scars to prove it.

I set up the two new soakers in the vegetable and front corner gardens. Gave them a good watering along with part of the “U”. Ron set up the hose for another section a few minutes ago.

I had several conversations with Cape Cod Hospital and Cardio Specialists today. Someone dropped the ball: they were supposed to call Dr. Cobb for clearance because I’m anemic and they wanted to rule out internal bleeding. I’m told the stent procedure should be done in the next month, but no need to rush. Hope they are correct.

Ordered new batteries for the phones and the proper part to fix the front window.

Ed dropped by to say “hi”. We think we need to talk with Bonnie and young Ed about how they’d want to handle the mortgage if it came to that.
