Trying to do both. The garden is coming along wonderfully considering
this is only it's second year. I put some phlox in today. Despite
having lots of rain on the weekend, I already need to water some
sections which are mostly sand.

I wish I were - instead I was at work. Which was just fine until the
horrible, condescending, passive/aggressive other shift came in at 7 (yes, I
was at work at 5 am with the fun, nice, young shift supervisor).
I'm thinking about plunging into the yard - soon. Any day now. But, my
gorgeous moonlight brilliant crimson/gold/orange broom is in bloom, as are
some of the rhodies, and the lavendar is starting. So, I have to go weed
and rip and remulch, and clean up really last week - but soon. Maybe Sat
morning, Sun afternoon. It is gorgeous out today - so there's a hope -
depending on what I get up to.
Sadly, I'm way too tired as I'm way, way, overdue for my "pump up" of blood
stuff - DH said that he couldn't tell if I was wearing anything when I had a
white shirt on (his humor of "get your butt to the hematologist). So,
tomorrow is lab, next week doc, then likely my day in the hospital
outpatient - after which I'll have plenty of energy. Going to work so early
- 5 am til about 11 - I find that while I can make it thru the day, dinner -
unless I grab a nap - I can't do anything strenuous. Bah.
But, I'm thinking about the garden - and what to do with the sick trees.
I'm hoping to be able to salvage the Sangu Kaku & the Bloodgood - I know the
cryptomeria is coming out. So, one of the errands today is to go to the
nursery where we got the trees and talk with their horticulture person. I
hate to sacrifice the 2 that are at least half blooming - if they can be
salvaged. I think DH will go with me to pick out a set of River Birches to
replace the Crypto - it's just too damp in the yard there for the crypto.
Any other ideas?

Willows love damp, if not too near the house.
