My "I" word will be "Inspection", that is about all I can do at this time of year, inspection for pests,
disease, growth rate, varmint damage etc. I noticed yesterday, that the Aphids have made a return in my absence, and some critter is digging around the roots of my daylilies, the cold had burned the leaves of the evergreens again, tags have been tossed about (need to get the map out again).
Later in the year the inspection will turn to more enjoyable things such as actually looking at the booms, deadheading, checking the ground moisture, etc. Inspection of the plants on a regular basis is a chore and a pleasure !
