What Did You Do In The Garden?

[SPedigrees]

yikes I feel like a pin cushion.

Your pink roses are gorgeous.

I can totally relate to the pin cushion analogy!

Thanks. For a few years after I planted these roses they were just a few blossomless branches tentatively exploring the trellises, but my late hubby remarked that he really liked how they looked. The same year he died, they began to bloom prolifically every year. If he only could have seen how they look now.

Checking in so that @digitS' doesn't go searching for me...
Been mowing and weeding, severe tending to my garlic, porcelain garlic, 43 of them, have been weeded, Preened, each given a paper bottom wrap from cut up paper grocery sacks, and straw strewn in between them.
WONDERFUL Mother's Day gift from church--they were giving away ceramic pots. DD's grabbed 2 for me.
Since I love glazed ceramic pots I window shop them. The 2 18 inch pots are worth ~$75.00. DD's put them on the cement cistern. Since I have a guy coming to clean my gutters tomorrow I moved them to an empty space in the garlic bed so that he doesn't drop the ladder on them.
ALWAYS assume the worst and prepare.
Yesterday I had to split my time up--high of 91 degrees F! It was much easier at 3PM when it started to cool off.
Today I will finish the 21 German Garlic, and some other jobs.
I backed up my God riding mower and pulled loose the above deck belt. I brought it inside and DD promises to help me put it back on this evening, and I have promised to move it to the garage, where it's well lit and dry--we are expecting T storms this evening.
Hope to check in on my thread with pictures, on Sunday.
Seeing that I only missed 10 new posts, I gather that everybody else here is busy outside, too.

I love all of that garlic talk! I love garlic so much! Whenever a recipe calls for one or two cloves I put in an entire bulb!!!
Pro-tip: if you don't want your significant other to hate your breath, make sure they eat it along with you and then no one notices!
