garden 2026 wish list - august update

 Spring is so close I can almost taste it, and it's time for my annual blog post / garden diary entry.  These are the things I hope to do...either this year, or in the years shortly to come.  :)

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 three done
  • Make a decision on my buff beauty rose - As much as it pains me, I pulled it out.
  • 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, and doesn't look good.
  • prep for hydrangeas - still waiting on yard prep
  • finalize plans for hosta starts ✔️
Yard wish list
Most of this list is still on hold, since Sally Sue isn't finished....hopefully this fall! 
  • 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
2024
