Upcoming Garden Workday 11/10/05
Marcia Lamkin planted our first climbing rose for the gazebo a couple of weeks ago. It seems to be very happy in the spot chosen. My broken camera has finally returned so enjoy a couple of recent gazebo photos. It is done - just waiting for seating and plants around it.
Clean-up in the garden continued last week. Karen Kent deadhead roses and other still blooming flowers in the garden. Laura and I watered while cleaning up the iris beds throughout the garden. Pots were moved to the indoor sun room. We received a big fern from the Arboretum greenhouse which will also live in the sun room overlooking the garden. One of the nurses loved it and decided we should name it "Phil Fern."
Work to be done:
A few bulbs to plant
More mulching throughout the garden
Filling in compost at the north end of the house (Native bed)
If time allows, we will create a path across the north end of the house with aggregate
Weather proofing the bench near the gazebo
Mulch and cover raised bed for the season
Mulch pots and sheep trough with garlic
We will be at the garden on Thursday from 9am-12pm. Come help us finish clean-up and winterizing the garden.
