A Good Rainy Day's Work in the Garden

Tweet

I've been really busy today. I took my first heart pill half an hour late because I was so tired last night I forgot to hit the start button on the timer I depend on to wake me up to take it. But I didn't get the palpitations! By the time I got to the living room, my hubby had Billy Graham's memorial service on TV, so I sat and watched it. That made me late getting to the garden. I had a few things I wanted to do in the garden between showers. I did a bit more pruning and planting, and I fed my irises some bone meal. I have no idea if any of the seeds I planted will come up because they are very old. But if I don't plant them, I'll never know. I hope some of the dill and basil will sprout, and it would be nice if the nigella and wildflowers, especially the lupine, would sprout. and I hope whatever sprouts, the birds will leave it n the ground so it can grow. I will cover the lettuce and whatever else I planted in pots, with row covers to keep the birds away until the plants can defend themselves. I spread organic snail bait where I didn't get it spread on Wednesday. When I finally got into the house after the rain started again before dark, I ate, did dishes, and watched a bit of TV while I ate. Then I wrote an article to submit to Virily and scheduled some of tomorrow's tweets. I was so busy I took my other heart pill half an hour late, but I still didn't get palpitations even though I had been active enough in the yard to get pretty tired. I'm hoping I finally have the right dosage figured out. The doctor gave my plan his blessing. Did anyone else tune in to Billy Graham's memorial service today? If so, what impressed you most about it? Have you done any work in your garden this week?
