A new hope
Jan. 31st, 2022 01:33 pmI felt like gardening today, so I did. I took previously-ordered seeds from Renee's Gardens and took them out into a pleasantly chill day.
Chervil, in the front of a bed that's the back of the deck. California poppies, scattered up and down the sides of the drive and the sides of the lot. Ideally they'd have gone in last fall, but give them a year or so and they'll be fine. Tough little plants. "Mermaid's Dream" sweet peas, a collection of blues, lavenders, mauves, and creams, promised to be heavily scented. "Sabre" shelling peas, and how funny the back-formation "shelling peas" is. Used to be just peas and sweet peas, now there are sugar snaps and snow peas, so we need a disambiguation for the original.
I still haven't found my tools, so it was me, a chopstick, and a table spoon. I did some hand-weeding including of a nasty invasive raspberry, which of course I didn't go to the house for gloves to pull. Now one finger is prickly.
