Gardening Weekend
In addition to going to parades and picnics, this is my gardening weekend. Well, most weekends in the summer involve gardening, but this is a big one. I have five yards of mulch in my driveway that need to be spread out - my son will be so disappointed. He thinks it’s a climbing pile - plus I …

Of course, I have tried to explain what I mean by that, but afterwards I have inva…

Every year I mean to make it down to the Chelsea Flower Show and every year I fail.

I have been working on a new flower garden out by the mailbox at the end of the driveway. I tore out the scattered grass and weeds, removed some sand, and added some soil and compost. Yesterday, I planted many tiny wintersown seedlings in the new flower garden. I planted lots of Cleome, Zinnias, Poppies, Rudbeckia, Gloriosa Daisy, Bells of Ireland, Elephant Head Amaranth, Cosmos, Love-In-A-Mist and Aster. It should be full of blooming flowers for much of the summer. I hope those tiny plants sur
