Gardening I did today:

• Prepped an area along the other side fence (near pool) and transplanted mint and ruellia from the poppy bed (next to the herbs) to it.  Then cleaned up around the poppies and planted lemon balm and lemon verbena plants.  (In the herb bed I had planted the lemon bush eucalyptus, so now it’s the lemony section!)
• Planted some annual vinca flower plants in Y’s rock garden and in one of the porch square beds.
• I temporarily placed the lithodora perennial (bright blue flowers) in the new planter.
• I weeded the square bed next to the veg garden and discovered the nasturtiums, coneflowers, and poppies I had seeded, plus black-eyed susan, all being overrun by the green dragon!
• I transplanted some bright annual flowers from that bed into other areas to get more sun.
• I was going to trim the huge cilantro and parsley going to seed, but I think I may just let them re-seed themselves.

I feel like I’m starting to catch up, after all the sick weeks.  Not quite out of the woods yet, but gardening helps me feel better.  L and I played a lot of frisbee.  We need some robotic sheep.
