Mornin folks!
So I got up around 330 with the old creaky(that's me and my body!) and decided it's almost the end of the school year, I'll make monkey bread from scratch! So right now it's in its second rise and into the oven not will go and hopefully make the house smell delightful! Hopefully the fam like the surprise.
Today will find me planting only 6 dahlias in the front bed. All of these are my shorties and just giving a bit more room in the main dahlia bed. 6 doesn't sound a lot does it?
My seedlings are looking crazy. They are leggy right now and I think are ready to get into the ground even though they are in 4" pots. Sometimes the earth giving them a hug is all they need to take off and do well. Let's hope!
I need to haul up the rest of the dahlias from the basement and do a sort on the porch. But that's not the priority today. Todays list:
Sort skinny south bed plants on porch and site drop
Throw compost in front bed
Plant 6 dahlias front bed and put cages in place
Throw preen in back half of bed
Plant skinny south side
And then if the body is behaving: pull weeds and plant the large south bed and preen
If I'm super powered today then I'll dump compost there too. I'm not sure I'm super powered. But I'll try. I also have to deal w the rest of the laundry. But that's a side note to my day. Hah. Only 3 loads left after doing 92 yesterday (ok it felt like 92!).
I don't know if I even have time to think of my seedlings. I'm trying to decide what way to plant but I think I best start at the end of the named varieties as that's where I'll be starting my hose run as well so that makes more sense for me I think. I can lay the hose as I plant the rows and then it's in place. Wish I had room to allow for graceful swoops w the hose but that never happens in my world. I have small spaces to plant and try to make the most out of my space.
If I ever had space what would I do?! I don't think my body would allow it vs my grandiose ideas of what I would like to do.
Darn body! I hate that it continues to turn on me. Sometimes I wonder why it's been so dramatic in a short period of time.
Anywho, another thought to ponder some other day. I'm on the sprint to get things in the earth and get them taking off. That's my hope anyway.
My best to you all! Find some brown sugar and butter in your life - it's a great comfort smell for me! Maybe you'll enjoy it too.
And in case you need some urging:

I don't do the glaze. It's sweet enough on its own without this!
Enjoy!
