Most of yesterday was spent working in the Hosta Haven garden. Mike and a helper put in stepping stone pavers and later in the day Mike's sister Bonnie planted some of the hostas that were held over in pots in the staging area. My body was pretty achy yesterday so I mostly figured out positioning for stones and plants, letting the others do the physical work.
I can't remember if I've mentioned it in this thread or not, but a few years ago I was about to give up on hostas because of the deer problem here. Then I read about a "safe zone" that pirl created in her gardens and figured out a good spot to do the same in mine. I purchased 100' of deer fencing and secured it around a perimeter of trees in the woods just beyond some gardens surrounding the house. Finishing up a few of the hardscaping elements and planting hostas is just one of the things that I'm catching up on after the last two years of nearly full time caregiving for my mom.
I did up-pot tomato seedlings yesterday and put together the conservatory deck urn planters, but not much today again for me. Paperwork needed attention and I'm still achy and lethargic. I've been going almost full speed for weeks and maybe the body just knows when it needs a rest.
