garden 2026 wish list - august update

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
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
