My garlic is coming up! I planted them the day before Halloween and here they are, making a showing! I counted 4 of them!

Red Rubin basil has turned all purple again due to the cooler weather. Despite some very low temps it seems to be doing quite well compared to other basils.

I don’t know what this seedling is, but I suspect it is pineapple mint. Sniff test has been inconclusive. Several of them are popping up in the herb garden.

Loropetalum blooms. It’s also worth noting that this loropetalum is changing color. Beautiful!

October Yardworks

I got a new t-shirt, seeds and digging gloves at North Haven Gardens yesterday.

Today’s yard projects consisted of: planting coreopsis, Thalia narcissus bulbs (I found only one from my last planting of daffodils), Snow-n-Summer Asiatic jasmine, garlic cloves, and larkspur seeds. I trimmed back the bicolor salvia in the blue bed before adding another bag of soil to level the bed.

While the man went to work on mulching the blue bed, I got to work cleaning my pruning tools. Naval Jelly worked wonders on these rusty shears. I made sure to spray them down with BP50 lubricant before covering them up and bagging them.

Had a little time after drilling holes into pots to smell the roses.
