Hello, happy Wednesday! I have not been able to do much gardening this week as it has been very windy here. I am not able to spend much time outside other than what it takes to water because of my daughter. I personally am so used to the wind that it does not really phase me. My daughter on the other hand, is a different story. I would hate to be at fault for her getting an ear infection or something.
So I have been watering and watching seedlings sprout. I fertilized my indoor plants yesterday as well. It's funny how my flowers outside get more water and attention than my house plants. I am horrible with houseplants, I can never get it right. If anyone has tips on indoor plants I would greatly appreciate them!
This weekend I am going to catch up on my gardening tasks. Hopefully the weather cooperates! I will be planting the wildflower mix in the island flower bed, Bachelor's Buttons (I have not decided where yet), and weeding the veggie garden and the flower beds. Our gardens are becoming overrun by weeds! Pulling and cutting weeds is my most hated gardening chore.
Also this weekend I have to make sure to spray my rose bushes with Malathion. I noticed a few aphids on one of my bushes and I know there will soon be more. I have discovered it is best to spray BEFORE they come rather than after. Once your buds and leaves are covered, it is a lot of work to remove them completely. I am hoping to plant more rose bushes this year, I am so excited about this.
Over the weekend I will make sure to take pictures and post on Sunday. I planted a whole bunch of flower pots last week that I am so excited to share with everyone. *One of my bushes is already blooming!
