We have had great weather here for the last two weeks, and I have started walking outside again, as well as working in my garden. I make lists for the garden too. I loved your suggestion that you should put the grates on the list and then cross it off so you feel like you're making progress (I've done that). Hope you get it all done in time for the tour! BTW, I love your gray hair.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-56181856099702683422012-05-18T10:10:58.824-05:002012-05-18T10:10:58.824-05:00Where to start!

But not of the work involved spreading it, of course. I GAD about, too. I weed instead of working on some big projects that need to get done, but seem sooooo, well, big! Thankfully, I don't have a time line. You are Carl both work endlessly. And your place is gorgeous - it will be beautiful on June 7th whether you get anything else done on your list or not!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-64776096022817575912012-05-18T08:23:16.795-05:002012-05-18T08:23:16.795-05:00I've missed you, Karen!

It has a nice color to it and decomposes over the season, adding goodies to the soil. I have a friend who purchases "cotton burr compost" and uses it for mulch. I cannot afford to do that - it'd take a hundred bags to do my gardens, at $8.95 a piece! I do buy compost at times. I also make my own, but I cannot make enough. Good luck on the garden tour!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792341123595520130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-30874021243895388302012-05-18T07:31:06.525-05:002012-05-18T07:31:06.525-05:00Great score on the free mulch.

I love the night photo of the tiered garden filled with a variety of plants surrounding your enormous pond! It is just lovely!<br /><br />I am reading a book I think you will enjoy. It is a historical fictional account of Clara and Mr. Tiffany, of the stained glass company, not the jeweller though they are father and son. Clara heads up the women's division responsible for cartooning, cutting, and assembling the stained glass pieces. She comes up with the idea of using stained glass for lamp shades but finds that to get the proper credit deserved for such innovation, she must butt heads with Mr. Tiffany. The imagery the author creates can be compared to the beauty of each stained glass piece Tiffany's created. It is a moving story, written from the viewpoint of Clara herself. I am truly enjoying Clara and Mr. Tiffany by Susan Vreeland. I think you will too!Shirley @ The Gardening Lifehttp://shirley-agardenerslife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-4639851200818251182012-05-18T04:20:13.256-05:002012-05-18T04:20:13.256-05:00How nice to get all that mulch.
