Re: Weekend Report

Well- I've nearly managed to mulch all of my gardens. I still have part of the front side to do, but I decided that I want to create another layer (tier) so I need to go get more of the gardenwall blocks to do this. The slope was jsut too great and I think it will look better if it is divided into two sections, with one being higher than the other. That will be for another weekend though.
Also, or bathroom remodel is back on track. A friend of my husband who is a contractor came over yesterday and replaced the window and the rotten window header/sill, along with helping us put in the tub. He then used selant around the window, and hung the cementboard around the tub so that I can do the tiling. We need to go pick up the time today. Maybe next weekend I'll start the wall tile, and hopefully get the plumber over to put in the toilet.

In the back garden, I rearranged a couple things. Moved the hydrangea to a hopefully better location, moved the wigela to the back yard (so it won't cook next to the brick wall out front anymore), and rearranged a couple of other plants. I dug up a "bunny-tail" grass that was taking over the world. I love this grass- but it was getting huge. So now I'm trying to decide if I want to divide it and keep a section (but in a difference spot) or just give the whole thing away to a friend. Hmmm.

The dates are only about 7 feet off the ground. I can reach most of them.

Wow! Can you reach that high or do you have to climb, Jim? That's amazing.

Our old queen palm [Syagrus romanzoffiana] flowered and fruited this
year, as it does every year. But when my two favorite teachers--Ms
Fatma and Ms Whelma--noticed it this year, they thought "teaching unit
with products to sell at open house." Today, the queen's dates began to
ripen, so I began to pick them [palm dates do not ripen all at once,
but over a period of weeks]. Pictures of the queen and her dates can be
found at
