Since we stay warm so long, we're supposed to wait and mulch after it turns cold. The trick is, sometimes the cold comes on suddenly. If I only had 4 roses, that wouldn't be an issue, but I can't rush out and mulch 30 new roses on short notice. Oh maybe i can, if I have nothing else going on...aaack.
I'm kind of in a frantic mode right now. I just got home from 2 weeks out west, and my youngest daughter has TEMPORARILY moved back home while job searching.....and I have to be ready to help her move wherever she gets a job...(anyone need a mathmatician?) .and my husband is coming home after working out of state for 5 months. As soon as he gets here, we start the next phase of remodeling, so gardening goes way down in priority. I'll have to adjust to family and contractors being here instead of the peace and quiet of just me and two dogs. I really like working from home, alone, after years of having crowds in my face for 12 hours a day.
maybe I should get busy digging holes too. That might ease my stress a bit.
