Puttering in the gardens
I've been puttering since seven.
I cut down all the rose bushes slong the tipi garden bed. I dismantled a sign, I freed a root stump and put it over on the sand by everfar so maybe it will stay free of grass.
I put a great chunk of suet on a flat feeder.
I weeded the stump bench by the lane and ponds. Those perennials I planted there last fall, I suppose they were dead ones, have all lived and are growing nicely and even blooming. There are two or even three maple saplings living in there now. Bonus! I 'planted' the two pieces of drift wood into garden beds.
The stumps in the stump bench have rotted now. Well, those were good benches when I'd sit and watch my boys play basketball when the kids were all at home! Long ago, now.
The stump bench at the entrance to the yard was covered in beautiful white soapwort last year when I took the photo which is my desktop photo. I weeded out the grass, as much as I can when I'm just pulling it.
I cut back the spirea at the end of it a couple of weeks ago. There are a host of rotten decorative gourds in that spot, too. I need to move those seeds and plant them out. Perhaps in pots of black soil sitting in water?
I brought up a wire white chair from down in the valley. Lovely flower plants are growing down there!
I hung the plates back up to the birch arbour with electrical wire. Lovely copper.
I decided the Canopied Garden Bed is complete, except for perhaps a roof, thatched, and for plants inside.
I think I'd like to hang up the teacups from the shelter. I think from the sides would be nice.
I'd also like to bring in the chandelier and see if I can rewire it for light above the stove area.
