wanted to show you the dusty millers after I topped them yesterday afternoon...
took off half of all the plants and still have enough...
they were laying down and shooting out shoots...
so its a long time before fall and by topping them or pinching them back...
they will bush more now...
Doug showed up early...
got me out of bed and as soon as I woke up and got dressed...
we hit it...
he scrubbed up all the pots while Craig rinsed them this afternoon...
sent Craig around to take some photos of this morning's efforts...
this was all cleared out...
mower started for the first time and Doug trimmed the south yard...
they dug up the places for the tomatoes later...
and Craig moved some ferns from the north side of the house to get them out of the way for the deck...
I think we might want to move a few more...
there is enough room to get the push mower in and around the tomatoes...
just a lot of cleaning up and getting ready...
there was just no time to get photos this morning...
we just hopped from one thing to the next...
only one short walk in today...
did lunch...
the guys had pizza burgers and curly fries from the White House Cafe...
they didn't have any fish, so I just did my lunch from out of the fridge...
then we went back out and washed pots and I planted a few little ones with pansies...
I am so pupt, I don't know my butt from a hole in the ground right now...
but it is so good to get things done..
we have had to help Doug out a bunch this year already...
and he is not able to pay us back...
so I told him he could come one day a week and help around here for a couple months...
I need to make a list for next week...
and there is a list still to do, that's for sure...
going to get started painting the rest of the pots...
we got the paint for plastic, and they are going white...
started an old bird cage in a light green, but it will need a few more coats...
progress...
its happening...
but I so need a nap now...
