For the past several days, Noah moved all of the cardboard boxes from the back porch to the area near the back door.
Sharon and I loaded as much cardboard as we could onto the wagon and loaded the cardboard into the back of the Mazda. We took the cardboard to the Knox County dump where we put it into one of the recycled bins. We repeated this for a second load of cardboard.
Sharon and I finished weeding the Daffodils bed; the predominant weeds were Onions.
We cut back the False Asters [Kalimeris pinnatifida ‘Hortensis’] and removed the remaining Coleus plants [Plectranthus scutellarioides].
At about a third of the way through the work, the wagon was overflowing and we emptied the wagon in Dave’s gulley.
Sharon and I took some wood, which was taken down from the house when the contractor replaced it with new wood so that the new guttering could be fastened to it, to the dump.
Added support using rebar and a bungee cord for each pot of Chrysanthemums [Chrysanthemum sp.]. These pots were easily tipped over by wind or rain.
Removed the Coleuses which were killed by a freeze a couple of weeks ago from one side of the front Daffodils bed. Also weeded this part of the bed; most of the weeds were either Onions or Violets.
This week, we had the gutters on the house replaced. Since we have not used the rain barrels, we removed their connections from the gutter system.
Sharon and I took the remains of the palette, which we took apart on October 21, over to the city dump.
Last week, when we purchased the Chrysanthemums [Chrysanthemum sp.] from Stanley’s Greenhouse last week, we also purchased a Christmas Cactus [Schlumbergera × buckleyi].
A couple of days ago, planted the Christmas Cactus in the above shown pot.
Continued to weed the front bulb bed. As yesterday, the main weeds were Onion and Violets.
Pruned back the three Hibiscus plants [Hibiscus moscheutos] and cut back to the ground the three Bloomify™ Red Lantana [Lantana camara PP29,292] that was in the area which we weeded.
For the second day in a row, continued with weeding and spreading black mulch on the front bulb bed and it started to rain! Additional phot...
