three random things and a picture make a garden post
Windrush
Originally uploaded by gwyneiraLook, I gardened today. Only until it got too hot, which was rather early, but better some than none.
1) Fish fertilizer smells truly dreadful. I forget this a little and am reminded every year when I apply it to the roses.
2) I have a love/hate relationship with the ferns along the east border. On one hand, I love that they fill up holes between plants. On the other, I hate that they overgrow plants I'd like to be able to see. It seems as though every time I go out I'm having to rip some out from around Blanc Double de Coubert and the spirea.
3) There's a fine, fine line between wearing enough to be protected from thorns and wearing too much for the heat. I think I didn't quite figure that out right today. I ended up in my exercise bra, biking shorts, and sandals; now I have scratches all over me except on my hands and forearms, which were properly attired in my pruning gloves (my very, very hot pruning gloves).
