Gardening

I was out in the garden for 2 hours this afternoon. I moved a torch lily from by the tub in the front to the back in the corner of the woodland. These plants look so messy and get too big for the spot I had it I moved montebretias from by the roses to the spot by the tub . The montebretias were hanging over the little rock path. I could see the humming birds at them from the dining room window. So, I left a few of the plants that were farther back from the path. I raked more leaves and cleaned them off the rock path and off the rock plants. A piece of the hebe broke off and is stuck in front of the montebretias by the tub. Hopefully it will take root, as this is an excellent, evergreen spreading plant with some lovely bluish purple blossoms. I clipped back the iceberg rose that grows by the front door. Its nice to have the compost bin to dump all these clippings into. I moved, what I think might be a yellow water iris to the back of the pond. This iris is a strong growing plant if kept sufficiently moist. I leveled the tub and put the mermaid up higher on a stick from the wood pile. On Wednesday the garbage men took away my old broken compost bin... was good of them to take it.

Gardening

I have managed to get the pond edges fixed, added the new pump, cleaned up the water plants and filled the pond. I had an extra rock to use on the rock path. I could use a few more nice flat rocks in the path. I have yet to clean up the Japanese garden area next to the pond.
Out front, I have raked the leaves off the grass and the rock plants a couple of times. There is still quite a few leaves on the tree.
I tried to load my video of the waterfall here, but it does not seem to want to finish processing. It has uploaded, as far as I can tell. This has been in the process for over 30 minutes. That is a bit ridiculous. well, just as I typed that, it finally loaded.

Just stuff

I have loaded the last of my photos for the October Grid of the Victoria Grid Project, on Flickr. There are 124 of them, not all added to the Grid pool, because it is just too late. I did not get out to the November grid. wish I had. The group met tonite to decide December and January's grid. We were out to Ambrosia with the VCCC for the annual Christmas dinner. Everything seems to happen at the same time. It was a nice buffet dinner and the entertainment was a Celtic band. Of course, we are home early. That group has always been home early... must be something to do with the aging membership.
