I said I would show all the facets of life on the farm. Today I will show some uglies.
First the personal stuff for my own references. I slept very well last nigh, a full 8 hours! I am now starting the generic version of Zyrtec. My allergies to pollen have me coughing a lot so I gave in. Maybe that caused the sleep. Who knows.
I will be taking it daily until this blasted hay is done.
Max took his mother shopping yesterday and did the major portion of mine. I will do a little at our local store for items I thought would be more difficult for him to select. He is a very great help to me!
Now for some uglies:
This is my work area right outside the back porch door. Here is where I leave everything I use for gardening, gloves, tools, plants, empty pots, watering cans, etc.
More things are hidden behind the Korean Boxwood.
Aphids have found the nicotiana sylvestris (tobacco plant)
I think the ground hog found the broccoli plants. I have never had large piece torn off before. (we put leaves in the trap and he ignored those, preferring the fresh ones!)
This was taken from the road looking north. I don't like how the trimmed cheat grass looks but refuse to try to rake it though the vining vinca (that I hope takes over the entire ditch!).
That is a rugosa rose, Therese Bugnet. It is very fragrant and very disease resistant. It does spread via roots which is why I planted it in the ditch area. I need to order more. Surely something will beat out the cheat grass.
Now the good part: It was cut to the ground a few years ago so doesn't have as much bloom but what it does it wonderful,
Note: some more ugly behind. That is the uncut cellar!
I love the crinkly, crushed tissue paper look,
OK, now I have depressed myself. Enough!
Have a wonderful weekend.
