On Wednesday morning I was up around 6AM and got my post up. It had stopped raining but I puttered around with seedlings and phone calls until nearly 10:30AM.
I finally got out to the East Shed garden and got started.
I usually do the 7 Sisters rose first because it’s a nasty job. This year there was a real lot of winter kill. Because of it, I was finally able to pull the vines out of the siding and gable end. I had an enormous pile on the sled and more on the ground. I got that mess cleaned up and started working my way down the garden.
I’d never been able to clean out gardens in the fall so the leaves were really deep. I got 5 sleds worth out, not including the rose one. I finished this part about 12:30PM and went in to rest and have lunch.
I came back out at 1:15PM and cleaned up the mess, got my photos, took notes and put down the BulbTone. I didn’t do the FlowerTone yet as not much is growing. I finished about 2:15PM.
I just sat and rested for a couple hours then got up and got a shower. The temperature outside started to drop so I closed the house up. I’d been in a T shirt all morning.
My #1 intern came home and announced all the daffodils had opened out front. I’d not been out front so I went out and got photos.
We walked around to the back of the house so she could see what had opened back there.
I watched ‘The Darling Buds of May’ until she’d gotten her supper made and then we watched ‘Becoming Jane’.
That’s the last Jane Austen movie I have but I did have a 1939 version of Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. So that’s to be our next movie night.
I was finally in bed at 9:45PM and it was raining and cold. I didn’t pull the shades or light fires, but asked my son to light one during the night when he was up.
On Thursday the wood guy’s helper will be here at 8AM and we are going to get the posts and cement for the woodshed. I have my last PT late morning and my #4 helper arrives at 1:30PM. She will have shopping to do and we have to feed the seedlings as it never got done on Sunday. There’s also thinning to do as many have come up.
