I am SO exhausted! I planted my garden today. I had already weeded it a couple of weeks ago, so didn't think I'd be out there as long as I was, but
I was out there for 4 hrs!
I planted 3 different envelopes of sunflowers,( of course, my usual). I also had some Gladiola & Dahlia bulbs, Zenia seeds, some Cosmo's,
lavender, and a mixed packet. (I always have good results w/ mixed packets, flowers to cut through fall).
I also put a new little white plastic border fence up. (had some trouble getting that in the ground, should have been easy, but was a pain in the butt!)
I took some extra I had over to my elderly neighbor, & planted some for her outside her porch, in front of her picture window.
I also have some tomatoes, basil, & chives I want to plant, but after today, those will have to wait until another day! I'm going to put those in pots up on the porch, so no animals will get into them.
I was out there so long, because I also took the hedge clippers & trimmed some big bushy bushes that are on the side of our parking area.
They were so overgrown! My landlord doesn't do it because he said they belong to, are on the property of the Affordable Dentures that is in front of
my neighbor's house. (& apparently they don't get along, will get mad at him if he does anything, etc..etc..blah, blah, blah!!! "grown men acting like this!) So today, I said the hell with it, I'm cutting them back! (I've lived here almost 16 yrs!) Needless to say, after already being covered in dirt & sweat, I was covered in pollen after that.
I am excited for my garden, & can't wait to see how it turns out!!
I will have to go down & take some "before" pictures, & more as it grows!
Oh, then after my long shower, I took an hour & a half nap!! I was tired, as well as my feet, low back & fingers are sore!
(In addition to cleaning houses all week!)
Glad it's done!
