THING ONE:
These are the same two elephant ear plants that my friend Laufrain gave me last year about this time. They wintered in our dining area and then I planted them in pots on the front porch. They hated it there, showing their displeasure by almost croaking!. I got the idea that they might like one of the planters we rebuilt along the front of the house. Here they get a lot more sun than they did on the front porch, plus a bit of protection from the gusty winds we get up here.
They seem to be delighted with this spot. I’m really happy. This is about the only thing that is doing really well in our yard right now, so it’s wonderful to be able to look at them.
THING TWO:
Mostly, my yard work this year has been cleaning up damage or cutting stuff down. I’ve used a LOT of KillsAll because the weeds are trying to take over. Here you see a place that will receive some attention quite soon, weather permitting. (This is supposed to be a bed of ROCKS….) Sigh. It’s on the list…
