WINDY and warm. The humidity of the gulf coast has come to visit. It had been super low, and now it is up to 82%. The boss sent me outside to help is wife dig in her flower garden. Several plants did not survive the winter, or she decided they did not perform as she expected, so she pointed and grunted and had me dig them up. Then we moved to the compost pile. It is in the perfect place, the neighborhood association brick wall catches a lot of leaves, so we don;t even have to rake them up, just add them to the compost. And we emptied 2/3 of the compost barrel onto the compost pile on the ground, and stirred one of the other piles. With approaching warm weather and moisture, it gets to rotting quickly. It is all hidden from view by some large bushes so no one else can see it unless they pull up into the parking area of our huge driveway. All of that was a grassy area I had to mow when we moved in. Now it is all bushes, flowers and some compost piles that are hidden.
She went with some friends to a local nursery and bought a bunch of new plants, and on Thursday she is going to a premier nursery that requires you have an appointment to buy the unusual and hard to find plants they grow. It looks more like a high end park with all the landscaping, but it all just to show how the plants will look. It is up in Stillwater, OK area. She will bring home a Macan full of plants, and I will be digging more holes. She has told me already on of the first flower beds I put in will be expanding by several feet to join into another area. That will require a lot of new digging for the edging decorative blocks.
