Separating The Plants From The Lawn

Remember, I mentioned in an earlier article, that I had to remove the grass from where the plants were?

To the corner, the grass was tall and lush, with little worms roaming about; meanwhile my flowers were looking droopy and dry.

Well, today I took it a bit further, I dug a small trench and putting a border between the garden and grass. This will deter the latter from overwhelming the former.

You can do the same by #recycling any scrapes of #wood lying about your home. The digging was made easier because of yesterday’s rain. My back…is another issue😦

Now unto my next gardening project.

The Sawdust Path

Nobody likes trekking mud into the house, especially if you have to go in and out ever so often to tend to your garden and water your plants. So, it occurred to me to make a sawdust path.

Seeing that I had two and a half bags left over from my procurement at ARC Manufacturing, last week. I used one bag to transform the path from a muddy mess.

Just over the border, you can see that I am still waiting on the grass to fill in.

Gardening sure teaches patience.

Pruning, A Necessary Evil

Do you remember my coleus plant how it was tall and top heavy? It was leaning over, not able to support itself.

I got this coleus from Hi Pro. I have sensed used the pruned sections to start some baby plants.

I pruned it and notice now all the shoots growing closer to the base.

Sometimes pruning is a necessary evil.

Above, in the picture to the left, that was the #coleus plant before pruning. The other pics show that I planted the parts I clipped off. I was able to get at least six healthy plants, with one other dying. Pruning your plants makes sense, no matter how scary it seems and how beautiful the plant appears before.

Never give up on your plants until they are bone dry…and even then wait a little more.

You see that little stick, now examine at his sides closely. What do you see? It’s Alive!

These are the containers that I put aside..hoping…that life would #spring.

Below you can see my thyme, cherry and pepper plants are budding and looking firm.

I so love waking up to catch the sunrise in the morning. Sometimes, I am able to catch a photo or two, like the one below, of the sun ray piercing through unto my plants.

The sharp ray of the sun cannot be stopped.

Good morning from my likkle Jamaican urban garden.
