Garden maintenance

As I work in the garden at this time of year, I'm reminded of all of the things that I need to do in the near future and all of the things that I should have done.

The "need to do" include such things as collecting seeds for Seedy Saturday or to ensure that I don't have to remove a million seedlings in the Spring that I don't really need. It also includes cleaning up around the Irises and making sure that only healthy rhizomes remain. And there are many other "need to do's" that we will talk about in future postings.

The "should have done's" include paying much more attention to descriptions of plants prior to acquiring and planting them. This category could also have been called the "mistakes". A fellow Master Gardener has produced an entire PowerPoint presentation around this category. I'll mention some of the mistakes that I have made over the years and what I have done to either manage the problem or to clean up the garden. "Should have done's" include the care that should have been given to the placement of some plants such as those that are subject to mildew or other controllable infections.

  1. The large signed crown perfectly suits the style of the rolex replica sale; the large size and fluting making it easy to wind. However, it does not come with the extra security of a screw hublot replica uk. Oris is renowned for making some of the strongest and most reliable of bracelets. The bracelet of the Oris TT2 Williams rolex replica uk is no exception. It is constructed of solid stainless steel, with press fit pins for the removable links. The bracelet tapers slightly from the rolex replica case links down to the 3rd link; again, this is a little unusual for a sports watch, but does look okay on this particular rolex replica uk. The rolex replica is a single push button that opens and closes smoothly and holds strong and comes with the Oris logo as you would expect.
