As I hurry up my own front walk, I'm disappointed. Brown Yarrow, weedy grass, spent flowerheads, clearly not enough time in my garden. I've been tending the gardens of others, and consequently mine needs attention!
There is no time or place for complacency in the garden, there is still plenty of season remaining.
Maintenence is a must, deadheading should happen weekly for maximum re-blooming. Perennials that have passed their bloom time should be tidied up.
Lettuce and Arugula seeds were sown last week in the newly cleaned vegetable bed, I hope to see them by Friday.
Weeding, of course, the never ending duty! All of this takes place during the lovely , somewhat cooler evenings. Even 1/2 hour an evening can make a great difference. I have several perennials to plant, so I'll need some compost, the same rules apply now as in the Spring.
It's also time to scout out places for some bulbs, as we have several new varieties that I would like to try this year...
