Re: my gardening season

In the grand scheme of things...how important is vacuuming??  Just a  
thought. Kathy

I know  I'm not in terrible shape, but things have been getting away from

I've  been working some Saturdays and overtime during the week plus trying 
to  
get the MG plant sale set up.  When I do find some time to do  anything it 
is 
usually spent "putting out fires" - something is in  desparate need of 
water, 
or something is being eaten, or some hostas in my  hosta bed are burning 
from 
the 960 heat that appeared out of  nowhere.  This hosta bed had always had 
perfect exposure, but when we  had those storms in Dec, I lost a lot of 
limbs 
from that tree and the  hosta bed is now in full sun.  I haven't had time 
or 
space to move  them so I've positioned umbrellas over them until I can get 
to 
it.  I  don't even remember when I last vaccuumed.
