This weekend, I will be keeping busy on several projects:
The flower beds in our front yard have been overtaken by weeds (laziness), so I've decided to take out the little ones and replace them with bushier plants that will keep weeds at bay. As far at the crape myrtle is concerned, it didn't bloom this year and has a bit of fungus so I have to weed it and apply a fungicide.
The herb garden in the back grew but some of the herbs are done for the season. I have to take out the old cilantro and basil and place some butterfly bushes instead. The rest of the herbs are still producing and I need to cook more with them.
I decided to throw a Fourth of July party on Monday and who better to supply some festive decorations than Carmen at Pom Flair, who will also be attending. She is making some of these great garlands as well as pomettes and the fringe picks for drinks. I will be putting my overgrown mint plant to work by making some festive mojitos :) I think it will turn out quite nice!
I have an exciting idea that I can't wait to announce, but I have to take some pictures before I do so look forward to this announcement in the upcoming week. I hope you guys will participate :)
Tonight, I am going to see Florence + the Machine, which I'm excited about. I hope everyone has a great day!












We're going to have a little grilling get together for the 4th and I'm especially excited because I somehow managed to get the day off, yay!
ReplyDeleteHope you can get all your yard projects done! all of our plants are doing terribly, and we can't figure out why. I think we must not be green thumbs or something. Mojitos with your own mint sound great!
ReplyDeleteOoO I love weeding! If I lived nearer I would come help you pull those suckers outta there!
ReplyDeletei finally weeded too! i can't wait very long as our soil turns rock hard in the summer so i have to do it in the spring when the ground is still kinda wet but i do need to up root a dead bush and replace it!!
ReplyDeletehappy gardening!
