Sunday Gardening

My family went to the Natural History Museum for the Bug Fair. There we enjoyed all the insects and other creepy crawlies. My husband met Ron Finley. The garden there looked really nice. It was very kept.

The fruit trees, the vegetables, herbs, and all the other plants were nicely labeled. I thought that it looked too orderly. If your garden looks this neat and weed free then you must have a lot of volunteers working. But something was kind of interesting with the garden. It seems like nothing was being harvested. The blueberries were netted and the berries were definitely ripe. Maybe it is just for show and demonstration. The garden is just in a perfect spot. Honeylove.org was there.

This is what I picked up from Muir HS. I went there and helped out a little. I don't think there is much for me to do. There is a lot of work to do there but I have not been there for 3 weeks and it was overwhelming. The newly planted bare root roses were still struggling to get going. The narcissus and the amaranth were taking over and the roses were not getting enough sun and nutrients.  I had to clear some of it by cutting the other stuff out of the way. All I can do is hope for the best. For some reason, I needed to rest but had to go and meet my brother for lunch. In the box, I have some dill, tomato, pineapple sage, zinnia, and lavender seedlings. I am excited to get them into the school garden. The roses in my garden are just blooming in profusion. The Jubilee Celebration was moved and the roots were disturbed a month ago but ever since I put it into the ground for good, it is doing well.
