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.

This is Friday's blog:
The heat spell is broken and it is cool and breezy and one can garden again!!! Sally and David spent most of Friday on the main bank down at the bottom edge. The pond needs to have something more than the native clay within it to hold water, so some quickkrete is being tested and if it goes well, the bottom will be lined with it. The bottom entrance and edge all needed to be rescued from the grass and daisies and primrose and other nasties and the rocks arranged in a more pleasing edge. That was all done plus a few roses moved and mulch applied. It is about 80% done and looking much better. Carted away over four wheelbarrows full of debris and added two carts of mulch.
Today is the first of 3 Saturday garden tours in a row, this one being the Franklin County Farm and Garden Tour.
