Subject: RE: BS: De-cluttering - June - part 3
I did de-clutter the greenhouse yesterday, potting up divided perennials that have been waiting patiently, potting on seedlings, and then got labels on everything before moving 'em out to farm stand and recovery/holding benches. The big veggie garden is orderly as well, with row upon row of tomato and potato plants in shades of green and blue-green, numerous corn transplants, lettuce, peas, and the rest. Roses are coming into bloom in the various gardens and the shrub hedge by the road. Such beautiful blossoms- one is a named rugosa from my dad's garden, with flowers of an impossibly tender, translucent, pink- and such fragrance, and again the greens and blue-greens of the foliage.

I painted the new gate (metal full size headboard with rising sun design) periwinkle blue with the sun a warm yellow. We'll mount a sturdy post beside the opening for the hardware for latching the gate.

The stand is open today, so I'll plant beans and start moving the old compost pile to make way for the grapes to go in. I can stay close to the stand while getting those tasks underway.

Maybe if I look at the rooms inside as a series of gardens...Hmmm.

Have a fruitful day!
