Taking pity on the extremely dry garden today,
Matt and I set up sprinklers on a few spots for a couple hours. While the parched soil soaked up the dampness, we went around trimming, pruning, weeding and deadheading.
The
Philadelphus got pruned, some
Cotyledon orbiculata and
Achillea got deadheaded, some
Chasmanthe and
Crocosmia got cut back. All good in the hood. Except that the shed's lock was melted off and clearly someone had been rummaging in there... not much taken that I could see, but we need a new lock. Sigh.
