This week is the first week that it has been really hot. Wayne watered the lawn for the first time. We have to do something to water the south side of the garage better. Wayne tried to soaker hose but was really discouraged with the uneven water patterns. We decided to use the system we had left from the garden. It works well there and would do a better job of keeping things wet along that area. The flowers get dried out as well as the grass since it's on a hill and gets the south sun plus the reflection from the light siding on the garage.
Wayne has put grass clippings on the garden which will help keep the weeds down. Monday we spent 2 hours out there working. Things are looking great but there is more to do.
The coreopsis is in bloom as well as the stell o dora day lilies. We have some asiatic lilies in bloom and the cat mint. The grass is doing a little better on the south side, but still looks pretty rough. The clumps may have been too old to move properly. The hydrangeas are also starting to bloom. They are still very young plants but I am pleased the are doing well.
