I am more or less done planting by now-----that is, until all the bulb foliage dies off--then i will have bare spots all over.....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....
Now to start cleaning up all the work-related stuff on my patio.....I want it clean and clutter free--so if someone wants to sit out there--all he/sh can look at are the birds taking baths and the chipmunks scurrying around!

This year I have not put up those green rabbit-fences. Almost....so far so good......I see a couple youn'uns scurrying around and all my just-planted marigolnd are chewed down......:o(
I even sprinkled Milorganite around everything---I guess it does not repel rabbits as some people have suggested....
MAN! Has this gone up in price!!!! Last time I bought it, it was $7. Now it is $12.97.

I also started isolating all the plants tagged for certain people for the Swap. Putting them in a separate box..

Now to brag a bit!!!!! I did it!--I did it!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!

Yesterday--I emptied my S.E.M (aka Composter)......Three years is enough! It was always full....Couldn't add any more! Been taking all my veggie scraps to "Pet Smart" right next to my HD. They loved it!
I cannot believe how much that thing can hold!

Shoveled off about the top 1/3 (not composted yet), took the thing apart in the middle and then dug out all the good stuff. It filled 2 lg. containers----One of the big tubs with the rope handles and a large tote. They are now sitting, covered, until need arises......probably next Spring. SO glad this is done!!!!!

Doing a happy dance!!! Gita

Someone gave me this Geranium last Summer.....fess up! It is growing HUGE! Behind it is a Knock-Out Rose-----you can hardly see it! And this is ONLY one year from a start!

Can it be cut back?
Can the cuttings be rooted? Soil or water?
If not--i am digging it up next Spring and giving it to Donn....
