Garden

Gloat, gloat. It's all blooming and growing. Put in the Roma tomato plant yesterday and the lavendar. Transplanted the mint from between the bricks of the steps into a proper bed.

Tonight should be basil and perhaps rosemary. And Early Girl tomatoes? If I can clear 2-4 feet of the veggie patch each evening I'll be done in a week. Whatever those weeds are (lupine?), they have to go. A weed is a plant in the wrong place, even if otherwise a fine and useful specimen - and I'm unsure those qualify even as fine. Wonderful composty loam in the veggie patch.

I think we need some minor flowering annuals in the main flowerbed, impatiens or scarlet sage or some such. And mulch for the bed/rock garden out by the street. And....

I'll probably come look at the party -- we hope to attend but the weekend is a little inchoate, yet. May drag [livejournal.com profile] kvirtue along. I'll try to RSVP more solidly in a day or two if that suits.

Lupine don't transplant so well, but heck, if you're going to tear them out anyway, I might as well tear them out for you and hope for the best!
