More Hatley Castle in November
I managed to get quite a lot of things done today. I was busy all day. I moved the potting soil and a bag of compost up to the deck. These steps are really treacherous right now, in the wet weather. I used this soil and a bit of bone meal in the 7 pots where I transplanted the orange trees. I grew these trees from pits and have been meaning to move them out of the big flower pot for years, it seems. Now I have them in pots that I can keep in the house and hopefully they will grow and produce oranges. I repotted two of the orchids and cleaned up one of the shelves. I hope these orange trees thrive. Between the pots and the trays, I have $10.00 invested in each one of them, not to count the cost of soil and time to do this.
I moved several clumps of Sicilian Mint from the stepping stones at the back to the stone path at the front. Hopefully the mint will spread. A year ago I cleaned up this path at the front and so the little clover and other weeds should find it even more difficult to grow between the stone, when the mint is established.
I cleaned the kitchen window so as to get better photos of birds hopefully. When I was out in the garden in the morning there were more birds... fox sparrows, alaska robins, the juncos and humming birds, robins, saagulls and crows, of course. I have heard flickers and caught a glimpse of a downey woodpecker at the suet feeder.
Megashot is growing like crazy. I must get some commenting done tonite.
