A touch late today but worked up a nice sweat in the garden this weekend, starting with mowing the lawn. I like to do the hardest chore first. Then, each chore after that get progressively easier and more enjoyable.
The lavender is getting rangy so I need to give it a trim.
No big trick to it except that you want to try to avoid the bees that swarm all over it. Luckily, most of the bloom is done so no bees today. In bloom, you'd want to do it early in the morning before the bees start their pollen runs.
The zucchini is putting out fruit. Need more? Wait a few hours and we'll harvest again.
Not only do we grow veggies and fruit but we've got quite a few herbs in the garden too. Here, you see the oregano overflowing into the walkway.
I trim it back, put it on top of our fire pit's grate, and let it sit in the sun a few days to dry out.
It's also time to treat the grapes and the front yard roses with sulfur dust again to fight off mold and fungus. Soon, I'll be draping the wildlife netting over the grapes to keep the critters from eating them.
Lastly, I'll fertilize before calling it a day.
