Home and Garden

I spent most of today working in the yard and on a home improvement project. 

Here is an update on the tommy toe fence.  So far so good, they are staying contained.   

I picked six cucumbers today.  Ate one for lunch, delish.  

Not  much prettier that a border bed full of pink and purple.  

I caught a hummingbird moth feeding on the phlox. 

The first 20 years here I have spent planting.  I looks like the next 20 will be full of cutting down. 

I decided to do away with the evergreen that was draping out of the planters.  I also dug up a few horse tails a few weeks ago to see if they could live between the house and sidewalk.  Most have managed to live so I might dig a few more to fill them in quicker. 

And then my craft project was new covers for the chair cushions.  The previous ones were cracked vinyl from the 60's.  Now I just need to repaint the chair.  And if you have seen my porch furniture you will know that that is very unlikely.
