[Oooh, awesome, I can screen capture the original quite charming iWeb template!]
I think writing a garden journal might inspire one to actually do some winter gardening….because one otherwise has little to record, and sitting on one’s arse all day reading Moosey does not make for much of a journal entry.
Tomorrow I must report to Long Beach court for jury duty. This is a serious interference with my lazy winter vacation. But at least it will get me up to city hall where I can take a photo of those darn New Zealand flaxes (Phormium tenax)that have to come out. I have the go ahead now from the parks manager to eradicate them. I am not even going to try to save them. I have truly gone off the big plain bronze ones…except for the rather spectacular huge trio in the background of the garden in front of Kelly’s Deli. As a true background plant, they are spectacular. Anywhere near the edge of the garden, they are a sharp, pointy nightmare.
Useful things to do:
Write article for yummy northwest re food items used in the garden
[Note from 2012: Did I ever do this? Mary’s new blog is Yummy Montana. She says I did write one article for the old blog, but I do not recall.]
Go to the Red Barn and get buckets of manure for my own garden
Go to the beach by ..well, I will not say where…the good driftwood place…and get some driftwood for the garden.
Drive around the Peninsula and look at all “our” gardens for how they appear in January (and how many weeds have grown).
Later: I just got a call from the court: the trial was cancelled! No more jury duty this month. I am all for doing one’s civic duty, but….WHEEEEEEE! I am still on vacation!
