mmegaeraFirst, I wrote over 6000 words this week. That's quite amazing, if I do say so myself [g]
And then I embarked on another season of being known by my neighbors as "the lady with all the flowers" (yes, this is a direct quote from a couple of Augusts ago).
Yesterday I spread four bags of compost on the back flower bed. Today I did my annual annual shopping -- snapdragons, petunias, lobelia, alyssum, dianthus, nemesia, larkspur, schizanthus, marigolds (the cool little single lemon yellow ones), and salvia (blue, not red). I think that's it. Then I came home and planted everything, plus sowed seeds for bachelor's buttons, linaria, and more single marigolds. Yes, I'm a confetti gardener (a self-coined term for someone who has to have one of everything -- the result rather looks like someone flung confetti). Then I took a shower -- sweat, mostly, as opposed to dirt. It's warm today. And it might hit 80 by Sunday. Whee!!! I'll have to keep things watered since strangely there's no rain in the forecast for the next week, but the warmth should give them all a good start.
There's still a couple of holes and/or pots to fill, but I'll see what I can find to fill them at the farmer's market tomorrow. Given that this is my eighth season planting this garden, I've pretty much got how many plants to buy down to a science, but it's always fun to finish things off at the farmer's market.
I'll post pictures when things get to the point where they're not just tiny sprouts surrounded by lots of soil [g].
Oh, and on the computer front, the replacement disc for EQ arrived Wednesday, and I installed it today. This means that, except for a few fiddly 8 and Live Mail things I have still to figure out, my computing stuff is back to full capacity. Yay!
