Summer is in full swing, and I figured now is a good time to check in to see what I have done, and what is left to do.
Garden wish list:
- Treat Hemlocks again for Wooly adelgid bugs ✔️
- Plant my camellia - I did not and it died!
- 3 rounds of plant & bulb fertilizer - 2 of 3 done
- Make a decision on my buff beauty rose - As much as it pains me, I pulled it out...then it died
- plant garlic ✔️
- plant basil ✔️
- plant lavender ❌
- plant a few colorful perennials ✔️ my tried and true bubblegum wave petunias, and impatiens
- plant peonies (if yard work is finished) - yard work isn't finished, so they're still in pots
- prep for hydrangeas - still waiting on yard prep
- finalize plans for hosta starts ✔️
- 20+ bags of mulch
- 1 round of round-up by the house, and in the shade garden
- Clear around the pond
- Clear some trees around the house
- Clear by the rock wall
- Burn all brush & log piles - I started on this, and burned 3 brush piles. Still a ways to go.
- Prep for trees
- Clear drivable path around the pond
