Tired. Worn out. Took the kids on a walk earlier. Worked in the garden for hours. Flynn helped trim some of the bougainvillea. I arranged some half-bricks under the bird feeder and some bricks along where the morning glories and moonflowers are planted. Tied up the tomatoes. Further trimmed the lemon and lime trees. I want to have throw grow along six wires running the length of the garden towards the back. Espallier the trees.
I'd like to train the bougainvillea along the house. It's an exuberant grower. I just need to direct it and keep it trimmed so that it grows where I want it to grow. Same with the trees. The lime tree has grown but the lemon tree seems smallish. They're both trimmed to three branches each. Very tidy.
The strawberry plant I'd grown from seed has berries now, tiny strawberries, very cute.
Would still like to do something with the front area. Took some cuttings from an impatien growing alongside a houseplant type of fern and stuck those in a planter box. Amend and clean the front area and plant those out there. Impatiens ought to do well in that area. Need to remove a shrub that died. Trim the bougainvillea more when I have more trash space to put all the trimmings somewhere other than the walkway. Trim the lantana. The lantana does not smell nice. Tie some of the bougainvillea branches onto the house. Keep after it.
I could get after the weeds growing out in the very front area. I put some bricks there to serve as a walkway a long time ago and they could stand to be tidied up a bit. As could the bricks in the back near the air conditioner. Could also extend those. If I had more bricks and sand. Get those things eventually. If we keep this house. Hopefully we will.
Anyway. Worked in the garden. Good and tired. Garden looks nice. Best garden I've ever had.
