I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.

The soil all ready - best $22.00 spent

This is no tiny job, and we have been doing this since last Saturday.  Interruptions happened here and there and bad weather happened yesterday.  Today though, we got it finished.   All but a few tiny ones that need some new pots to separate them.

It was fun to see the plants all talking together in a group discussing the new soil that was caressing their parched root systems. All that was keeping all of them alive was the constant watering.  The worms had gotten into the pots and stripped them bare of any nutritiousness or real soil. 

Anyway, given it smells delicious, they should love what has happened. All of the old soil got mixed in with the mulch and put onto the garden.  Its fine for there but not good for potted plants.  I need to feed them all with liquid fertilizer tomorrow and re assign them all to their new positions.

First we need to weed the area near the shed on the rocks.  It would be good to finish that job off one of these days.  I am going to re model the front door entrance as well with some extra sun tolerant plants.  It is so hot there every after noon.  Lots of bright strong geraniums in good soil should do fine there.  This will brighten things up there somewhat.

We have had two storms in as many days.  Yesterday we lost power for a couple of hours and we were in the dark.  I have gas so the biscuits I were cooking were safe from disaster and cooked on in the darkness.
