RAIN and Random Ups and Downs
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
Sigh, so much for planting today.
On the upside, when it stops raining, the soil will be easier to dig in!
On the downside, it’s not going to stop until Friday!
On the upside, I’m OFF on Fridays….
Downside: I’ve got more doctor appointments!
Note to self, I want to get more calendulas, as the ones I got Sunday are so pretty, but there needs to be more of them.
Good news, I discovered yesterday, that my lemon balm, which I thought I’d lost, has started to rebound and is now just beginning to grow again. If I can keep it mulched this year, it should be there this spring. I have trouble with lemon balm, as it gets black spot. Much like the roses, it prefers dry air.
My knees are feeling pretty good today. (crossing fingers)
I used my wheelchair today at the Houston Garden Center. They’re having a 70% off on most plants sale, and I wanted to see if there was anything that needed to come home with me. The upside to it being a drippy day, and the middle of the day, is that I got a helper to pull my wagon as I loaded it up.
I like the wheelchair. I get around, using my own muscles, but it doesn’t hurt the knees or back or legs. I do need a pair of leather gloves though, as I don’t want a blister on my left thumb. Why the left thumb and no where else? Ya got me… I’m not sure.
