Started raining yesterday afternoon and even though it was still sprinkling this morning, we only got half an inch total.
Picked up a couple of nice hangars, two-for-one, at Falmouth Greenhouse. Dropped one off early this morning for Julia, a pretty combination of deep purple petunias, lavender verbena and white bacopa. Kept a deep pink New Guinea to brighten up the front.
Some of the 1999 seeds are sprouting.
Sowed the poppy seeds this morning, not holding out much hope, they are so tiny, difficult to handle. Won’t do this again.
The blue sweet peas are abundant, but no fragrance. Still waiting for the white ones.
Managed to prune two summersweet, two to go. That part of the garden has a lot of tiny, biting insects.
Aggravating rash on my left hand, very distracting, woke me up this morning. I shaved off some skin, thinking a) it will get rid of the poison and b) the pain might confuse the nerve endings. It’s taking a while, but I think it’s working.
