…with extra frolicking!
It has been sunny and in the low to mid 70’s for the past couple of days and that trend seems to be what we can expect for at least the next week. This means that I’ve been out in the garden after work, yanking weeds. Holy Chocolate Dipped Cheerleaders, do I have a garden fulla weeds! Some of those fuckers are 2 feet tall with a tap root that reaches halfway to the Earth’s core! Still, my yearly jihad against the invading hordes of botanical infidels goes well. It would go better if my electric weed whacker had not died last year, but using the good old manual weed whacker does give me some excersise.
This weekend (after a quick trip up to my mom’s house), I’ll be potting, repotting, planting and sowing seeds. Gonna be a hugeass veggie/herb garden here at Casa Cross this year. I’ll be planting more flowers and shrubs, too. Next year, by Dog, I’ll have so much groundcover growing that I’ll choke most of those fucking weeds out!
Right now, I’ve got dianthus, purple lantana, daffodils, sages and my beloved peach verbena blooming. Oh, and what I think is a grapefruit tree is blooming. It’s only 3-4 feet tall and it’s planted in a terribly wrong spot, but man, is it full of pretty red blooms.
On my ever growing list of things to plant this year: more dianthus, more gazanias, more lantana, more thyme, more sedums, more daylillies and more geraniums. I’m thinking a dwarf lemon and a dawrf blood orange will be on the list, too.
Yes, life is looking good for us garden addicts:) Plus, now that the good weather is here, I can FINALLY restart my nightly walking program. I hope to be up to 5 miles a night within a month or so.
Well, time to sign off and go play Psoriasis VS Skin Cancer: The LARP, then go off to work.
