Garden Complete

Finally, the gardening project around our house is done. We still have a lot of outdoor (and indoor) projects in the works, but the major project is finished which means I will once again have more time to devote to blogging. In what has developed into a tradition over the years, I signal the end of gardening by posting a sign in the garden.




At this point, everything is on automatic. I've done my part. I've fertilized, mulched, and set up the automatic watering system. Now its up to the plants. It's like setting up a chemical synthesis and letting it reflux for a couple of days while you wait for the product to form. All you can do is wait and hope that the chemicals behave in the manner you believe they should. I'm not going to spend a lot of time weeding. Should a weed manage to thrive, that's not my problem. I've given the flowers a head start. It's up to them. Survival of the fittest, I say. I'll post some pictures in July, when everything starts filling in. Otherwise, back to Chemistry again!
