My husband came home, I handed the kids off to him and from 6 to 8:30 pm I worked in the yard. Yard work (though hard work) is my way of relaxing. I moved an ornamental grass and two sweet peas and planted a fern, 2 containers of cosmos, 2 pots of pinks and 5 container grown dahlias. Then I spread a bag of beauty bark around the new plantings and put down some slug poison as well. I finished off the evening by mowing the lawn. For some reason, lawn mowing is so satisfying when you see the perfect rug of neatly trimmed green. It makes the whole yard look tidy.
Noted the following new blooms:
- Southern Charm Verbascum
- Kalmia latifolia (Mountain Laurel, native, from New Jersey)
