Gardening Diary – March 27 – 28, 2023

Continued with the sorting problem on the porch as described in Gardening Diary – March 21 – 25, 2023.

The second round of freezing temperatures at night nipped some of the plants as they were recovering from the “deep freeze” in December:

Gardening Diary – March 21 – 25, 2023

Noah, while cleaning the porch, collected many items and put them in a large pile in the middle of the floor. He wanted me to sort the items, put those that I wanted to keep on the shelves, and put those, that I did not want to keep, in the garbage.

Went outside to take a picture, of where our original garden shed was located, for yesterday’s Gardening Diary. Noticed that the 2 Pink Flowering Almonds [Prunus glandulosa] were starting to bloom:

One side of the second bulb bed was full of Surprise Lilies [Lycoris squamigera]. Will be looking forward to see their blooms in late summer:

Gardening Diary – March 10, 2023

We had Farmer & Sons come and pick up the garden trash and take it to a dump. They could not take the hazardous trash.

Sharon is sitting in front of their truck and trailer. While they were loading the trailer, Sharon was digging up some Onions from the Daffodils bed.

Gardening Diary – March 7 – 9, 2023

Noah emptied the garden shed and placed the contents into 2 piles, tools and rest of stuff. He brought the bags of garbage that he collected from cleaning the porch to the area along the right side of the fence.

Sharon and I further sorted the stuff into 3 categories, stuff that we wanted to keep, harzardous materials and other materials. We collected the newspapers and put them in a large contractor bag, tied together the cardboard, put the other smaller materials in a large contractor bag and the hazardous materials in boxes.
