Whether it's a dessert fork and half a chocolate cake or a garden fork and untilled land, expansion is inevitable.
But in this case I am referring to the new garden fork I bought last week. A nice strong one.....Randy was with me and forced me (picture me holding out my arm so he can twist it and make me to buy it) to buy the good one, lifetime warranty and really nice. If I had been shopping alone, I would still be forkless because I wouldn't have spent that much money on it.
Along with the fork came the required new plants....4 small pots of Snapdragons, two pinky-purple and two dark wine red...a pot of burnt orange colored garden mums...and a Hyacinth bean vine which even tho it is an annual in most parts of the northern hemisphere can be a perennial here if the weather conditions are right....and 10 bags of cedar mulch, three of which are on the newest bed expansion you see.
The snaps are in front of the wheelbarrow, the garden mum is in the "witchy" planter to the left and the vine is planted way in the back hopefully to climb the purple "fence" trellis.
I started expanding over on the far side of the bed but found an ant bed, sprinkled some power on them and will get back to it when they are gone.
Worked on expanding the bed at the back of the house where that holder of my Dad's birds is, but the sun came out, I started smelling something burning, figured it was me since I can't stay in the sun for very long and left that one for a cloudy day.
So I moved and started on the expansion to take place on the other side of the headboards and was just way too sore and tired to do any more. Will get back to that part tomorrow.
