Well, so far we've had a whopping 0.01" of rain for the month. Which means I spent at least an hour on Sunday watering my lovely plants. The beds close to the house are no trouble - my biggest worry is not smooshing any plants with the hose. The woodland garden, however, is another story. The hose won't reach, so I have to lug watering cans of water across the yard. Not a big deal, but I always end up sloshing a little water down my leg. This causes my pants to get wet, and makes my flip-flops dangerously slippery. No broken ankles - this time.
Some of my bulbs are perplexing me. The tete-a-tete daffodil and Thalia narcissus are being very tempermental. Their performance is very spotty, and I'm pretty disappointed! The tulips are growing like mad, but the supposed "easily naturalized" bulbs are punking out, it seems. Teaches me for planting 75 of them!
Finally, I managed to get some seeds started. It's a little late in the season, but I'm hoping the beautiful weather we're having will make up for it. Besides, my raised beds are still a pipe dream, so even if I had seedlings, I have nowhere to grow them! The F.E. exam really put a cramp in my gardening plans!
