Chris came down on his bike and Dennis walked over. Nobody brought marshmallows but still a nice night around the fire. Burned some more today but the rain put it out. The brush pile is in pretty good shape but I'm going to have to let it dry out before I take care of the rest of it.
When did the sun become my enemy? I use to love the sun. These days I prefer the shade or cloud cover. I use to tolerate it up to 90 but now the 70's seem hot. Maybe just not use to it and we got hot real quick but moving north seems to be reasonable.
I did finish up the milkweed display by adding a couple of Slender Mountain Mint. Added the Pink Veronica to the Crepe Myrtle bed.
In the past I always used the foundation beds to display the leftover annuals from the plant sale but Marsha doesn't want to do that any more. She explained at the general membership meeting why they kill the leftover plants. Said the seed cost her very little and it was the promix she wanted to reuse. I added and the pots. She said something about we were into retail meaning decisions have to be made on profit. What a contradiction. First off, it doesn't cost her, it costs us, the organization. She's very fond of telling me I can't do something because it's not horticulture and we are about horticulture. Yoo-hoo, killing healthy plants is not horticulture it's retail.
Keep my mouth shut, she does an excellent job with the plants sale and all I have to do is support her. The rest of the group can bitch about her killing plants. Anyway, I'm going to start filling up my beds with perennials. Donna can grow just about anything.
