Wednesday was supposed to be a rainy day (heavy showers predicted). Instead we got hot and muggy with rain which seemed to evaporate as it fell, so it wasn't very wet. Sally and David both worked outdoors most of the day therefore. It was a great day for planting, so Sally put in carrots, parsnips, and finally planted the tomatoes. She also did a lot of transplanting and lots of general spring cleaning/organizing (move the hastily placed pile of whatever to where belongs, etc). Overbought window box petunias, so now she is sticking them in places they have never been!
Meanwhile David finished shoveling out the old yukky full of dirt and plants gravel. He then laid down the black plastic and spread a nice layer of 3/4 native stone. Looks great and really sets of the stone borders. Plants, mulch, border rocks, stone, very pretty. It finally did start to pour around 3pm so off they went shopping and upon return Sally started a bunch more seeds in the greenhouse and David cleaned up the basement to prepare to use his brand new stacked dado blade to make the rest of the trellis pieces for the pergola.
