Gorgeous day. Had big plans for the garden but have huge blisters on both heels from a walk yesterday with new shoes. Ugh!

UGH is right!! Did that soon after we were married. We were in Maine and I only got part way up Katahdin. Jeff probably thought, 'what have I gotten myself in to?'.

Gorgeous day!!!

Iris, chipping sparrows have been in CT for a few weeks, so you probably did hear one! I wear old sneakers when I hike....was watching for snakes today....

Hi folks some further south & west of me in zone 4; all the above weather reports same here, especially weeks of RED FLAGS in regard to fire danger. Home garden: Ajuga has for yrs. by both stolen & seed ruining our lawn; hubby more upset than usual, so laid down swathes of black plastic/garden stapled on worst places for a few wks. & see what happens. Late spring & summer mowed, it doesn't bloom & stays short, but these huge inky-colored blotches everywhere are pretty ugly. (As is the black plastic! Neighbors probably wonder what this crazy ole' lady is up to now?)

Also began digging up just plain dusty-dirt, never amended, next to a low curving half stone wall/half shade & sun where lawn doesn't do well by our garage ..... packed them into 12 six in. pots & brought into house to warm the soil for a couple of days. Tonite, carefully clipping the edge of each bright red nastursiam seed, dropped 12 seeds, covered & watered well. They'll be in or out depending on temps. until ready to put at least 8 around said stonewall (w/white allysum in front) & the last 4 to our summer camp for window boxes or whatever.

Lastly, not quite daring to remove all my fall chopped Maple leaves from beds, I Walmart bought fairly cheap soaker hoses for around most of front yard water needy plants & have let them run for a couple of early a.m. hrs. every few days. (Waterbill is getting atrocious, as I'm crazy w/wide-open hose & only home one day a week from camp after the middle of June.)

Desperately hope we don't have a summer like the severe drought here in 1991 & 93 when I was still strong enough to yank a 100 ft. real rubber hose all over 2 acres of veggie gardens, fruit trees & perennial gardens, all spreading around a large flat parking lot, but up or down hill from there!!

Later folks ..... (Thank heavens I only go here once every couple of weeks & give everyone's eyes a rest!)

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)
