I know it has only been a week, and so much has happened. So you know that the peonies that I thought had arrived? Nope. We prepped the space, and then I opened the box. No peonies, silly me, read the paperwork, but they were bulbs. The good news is that we are ready for the peonies. The bad news, or the other news is that tomorrow I have 66 pounds of bulbs being delivered. Am I ready? NOPE. But through the generosity of gardening clients, I will be. Hopefully. I mean, 66 pounds of bulbs. Each bulb weighing approx .25 of a pound. No problem. We /Steve just has to till the said space and pixie and I will get planting. (Before the snow flies I hope).
But the garden waits for no one. Perennial beds have been tilled, composted and I have started to move all the plants that I have been holding in the vegetable garden into their real space, to make room for all the tulips that are starting to be delivered tomorrow. I believe it is called the gardening do-se-do.
Plants that are no longer doing much are being cut down and mulched, irrigation is being disconnected, I am spinning in circles…I can’t seem to get may fall clean up in focus. Goats can though.
So. Needless to say, there is a lot going on here. My goodness there is a lot going on here. The push and rush to get everything done is scary. Which brings me to the sad news….
This flower season for Flowers at Lottarock is over. Sad, but not. Sad not to see all my flower people, but glad that I can take a deep breath in anther month. I still have lots to do to get ready for next spring. If you still have credit, don’t sweat it, it is still good because spring and all of its beautiful narcissus, ranunculas and tulips will be ready for you. And don’t worry, you will still hear from me every Sunday to let you know what is happening at Flowers At Lottarock.
So this is the final 2020 bucket of flowers saying farewell, and until next year.
2021 I big plans for so tell your friends and bring your friends. We are a happy, merry, flower loving group. Until next week. Allie
