There are like, 20 things I want to do this Saturday.
- dig up and divide grasses and liriope
- Dig out and replant the Rhododendron
- Plant the new roses in the side bed
- spread compost on the raised beds
- buy lots more potting soil
- plant Zinnia starts
- plant Sunflower starts
- transplant Coleus to patio bed.
I think the grasses are the priority. That needs to get done, because they will continue to look like shit and eventually not even grow. And Drake has agreed to come and machete them. I think I will start digging them up before he gets here, just to accelerate the process. I should buy a case of beer. I'll move the patio ottomans out there, so we can keep all these tools somewhere, and so we can sit down and tear into these fuckers.
So while Drake is here and revved up, what else should we work on? I could get him to get some potting mix since he has the truck. Maybe that's more of a time sink than I want.
Transplanting the Coleus could certainly wait until next weekend. There are also all the Morning Glory starts, which are doing great. I want to put them where the Peas are, and those peas are a long way from making any peas. I think we will pull them out and put in the morning glories in their place. That's an hour of work, tops. But it might be nice to wait for next weekend.
