Good morning gardeners. I hope you tall enjoying the weekend.
@TJAnonymous love the table! This morning was productive. When I cut back the two shrubs damaged in the storm I found two small stems coming from the base of one of them so decided to cut down the trunk from the damaged part and let those grow up to replace the red Mexican BOP. The yellow one I canāt save so I soaked it good with the hose to take care of ants and can just about pull it out. Iāll get out there with the shovel tomorrow morning to finish digging it out, but the air moved through the yard better now without that yellow one too. I think Iām going to put more succulents in that area instead a large shrub. Ended up cutting the shade cloth off the old swing frame, going to replace it with 90% shade top to bottom on both sides. It shades the west wall of one of the rooms in summer, plus gives shade and cover to the chickens, but itāll be time to put up the greenhouse there soon so no point in getting in a rush. Got some contractor bags to finish taking all the straw out of the shade garden. My pepper plant fell over so I donāt think it gets enough sun now, just going to yank it, Iām over the garden this year, it has been full of disappointment. The night blooming jessamine is recovering after I moved the bark mulch under some yellow bells next to it so thatās good news, and the banana plants are still alive. Iām happy that I procrastinated about the rosemary bush after I cut a bunch of it back. Iāve decided to try making it into a tiny tree after I learned a bit about where to trim and why from a video on YouTube. I need to do some more trimming and see what it looks like under all the growth still left.
