Gardener’s Diary

This past weekend was a big one for garden sales, and I managed to get to the Master Gardeners’ at the Fairgrounds.
Due to a scheduling conflict, I arrived at almost the very end, which turned out to be a bonus: they were selling everything for half price. I got five pots of healthy plants for only $14.
So, I did some planting this weekend: an astilbe from Mahoney’s and five pots from the Master Gardeners, including lily of the valley, a coreopsis, yellow day lilies and another, possibly a campion. I put three of these in the last empty spot in the garden at Edgewater, and if they take, it will be filled in with perennials.
I was eager to get everything in because rain is predicted for the rest of the week.
In about ten minutes, I’m off to Hyannis to drop off the lawn mower for repair.
