Out and about, yardwork, flowers and more rain
Posted By RichC on May 24, 2020
It has been a slow start to getting our yard in shape. By now we usually have the pool open and flowers planned, but for some reason (probably rain) we are not ready for summer.
Thankfully though, Saturday was nice most of the day. I waited as long as possible to add a few brown stripes to the backyard (not quite this bad) and beat the rain (still don’t have the fuel pump I ordered from Amazon for the Kubota, but gravity still works if I keep the tank full). Brenda and opted to venture out with about the entire county after following the last 8 weeks or so of stay at home orders (COVID19). Besides eating in a restaurant for the first time in a while, we also picked up some flowers in a local nursery. It was very busy … about half and half with masks?
On returning home, I continued to let the grass dry and worked on our pool decking "half-moon" area and then planted the wave petunias .. they seem to do well in that area. Brenda’s transplanted pots from last year are blooming too and we’ll need to get them in the ground soon. All in all it was a good day of work … until the washout again. More rain. Ugh.
Trying to get our GutterShutter people back out in order to correct some missed roof runoff or overflow? They have not been responsive.
