Gardening Day of Fun

I worked in my garden yesterday! Woo hoo!

I started by repotting a houseplant, and while I was going to the garage to get the pot, I saw a container that had some old seeds in it. Some of the seeds were from a mgambo tree. They’re fuzzy! They’re often used in leis. My friend Cheryl gave me some in Maui. I’m not sure if it was THIS time, or another, but that was four years ago.

They’re super old now, but I wondered if they might still sprout. I planted them. I also planted some herb seeds that students gave me at Christmas.

I watered everything in the back yard after that. I need to get some new watering equipment. I need hoses that aren’t expandable. The expandable ones put the water under too much pressure, and the potting mix gets blasted out of the pots.

Since I was already outside, I mowed the lawn. It really needed mowing. The last few weekends have been rainy, so I haven’t been able to do it until now.

And then there was one last thing to do… My driveway has a lot of weeds growing in the cracks. I wanted to use salt and vinegar to kill them and poison the ground. I got most of them, but ran out of salt and vinegar, so I’ll have to finish another day.
