Good afternoon, we are humid and hot here in Missouri. Mid 80's with high humidity and this area of Missouri being closer to the sun (than I am used to living on upper Illinois-Wisconsin border) Is very hot for me-I think more so being a senior now.
So I am out early, usually 7:30 -8 am after most of the dew is off and Larry is set up for his day. I have most of the grass cut now-the tallest for sure, so I think one more large battery will finish it up-before I have to start again. If I keep at it-takes me a week to get it all done.
I bought bags of soil last week, the guys when they were here brought it all down for me-so I worked on that the last couple of days-trying to get the gardens sorted out and looking better. It was a lost cause last year.
I am going to need more garden soil so I called and Wal mart's generic is sold out in the large bags but they ordered 100 more bags coming in tomorrow-that will go fast. I will call tomorrow afternoon to see if it came in. I always have loved Miracle Grow but their prices have been outrageous the last couple of years, so I have been using Wal marts generic brand It is on sale now too for around $5.00 Hoping I can get some more this weekend.
I needed to get some of the flowers out of the growing bottles since we are hot now-the stems are pretty thin-sadly and those chipmunks dug up a bunch after I worked yesterday-ugh. Hoping they will make it. I grew snapdragons, salvia, and dwarf petunias that needed planting.
This first photo-iris's we brought from the woods house, and the lilies were from my Mom's garden-they are settling in this year at the lake
