Diary of a Boy Gardener

We are in the Berkshires, the beautiful rolling hills of western Massachusetts where the season is short and the frosts sometimes win. Visit Sally and David's Gardens and see how two old farts spend their time helping what plants they can find their place in this world.

Sunday, June 02, 2002

Saturday was a gorgeous day here in the Berkshires. We had the two grandkids most of the day and Sally was out and about with friends, so David had to mind the rug rats and get some work done. Finished the mowing (did do another third Fri night), final oil coat of white on the new window boxes, lots of edging, watered the onions, potatoes and strawberries. Cleaned up around the lower basement entrance and flagged down farmer Ronnie to hire him to dig out where the new wall is going. The hostas we thought were dead are sending up nice green shoots in the middle of the dead leaves, so the old growth was cut away. Trimmed off all old tulip blooms (they are now all gone bye). Some lilies aren't going to make it, but most are getting nice buds. One rose is dead and will have to be replaced and those Simplicities are probably gonna get pulled out and replaced. We are still worried about a possible frost tonight or Mon or Tue, and may have to cover a lot of stuff so we can sleep thru the night. Since this is morning and just catching up yesterday, hope to make another entry about today later on.....
