Weekend Plans

In a few more weeks, all of the seasonal people will be taken off of the schedule at the garden center... so I'm taking advantage of the hours when I can get them. This weekend I have a pretty nice schedule, though. 9-6 both days, which means that I have almost 3 hours each evening in which to work in my own garden! My "to do" list is pretty long, but here are the highlights:


- Harvest these lovely garlic scapes and use them in a delicious omelette

- Dig up a few plants that are going to new homes

- Weed and mulch the bed behind the Japanese maple (It's so bad that I'm ashamed to show the "before" picture I took tonight!)

- Plant the flat of veggies that are wilting on the side of the driveway

- Take a few pictures of the plants I didn't realize were in bloom until this evening

- Thin out the volunteer amaranth seedlings (Anything that's not dark burgundy in leaf must go)

- Fill in the hole in the back bed where I removed the potted oakleaf hydrangea two weeks ago

In addition to that, I need to mow the grass... but that's not really a fun job for me so I'm not going to include it on my list. :) Off to get some sleep so I'm up for all of the tasks ahead--I hope that this is a great weekend work-wise for all of my fellow gardeners who have long "to do" lists themselves!
