I planted some forget me nots and lavender before the trip and completed it yesterday with seeds and bulbs: Shooting Stars, Windflowers, Delphs, Cosmos, Alyssum, Lupine, Blue Flax, Larkspur and Phlox.
Should be sprouting as follows. Fingers crossed.
Delphs: 14-21
Cosmos: 8-15
Larkspur: 14-21
Phlox: 10-18
Alyssum: 10-15
Flax: 9-15
Lupine: 10-15
We weeded, mowed the lawn, completed the front garden planting and resolved an issue with Ron’s bank.
We cleared a space for Ron’s hammock, bought the hardware to put it up and installed it. The detritus from the area almost filled the truck bed.
We also visited the farmer’s market at the Waquoit Congregational Church.
We made it, a day and a half early: landed in Mashpee at 10 pm on Thursday May 5, 12 states in 5 days. Everything looked great: the house, the gardens, Fluff.
Celebrated Ron’s birthday yesterday by moving him in. Got pretty much everything out of the van, did laundry, went grocery shopping and had the Cohens over for dinner.
I am bronchial and have had poison ivy rashes for the last week.
Fluffles slept with us last night. He’s been very talkative and cranky since we got back.
