Ebony's Pearls

Because my knees are still healing from the accident, my gardening is rather curtailed. I was not able to plant the beds of bamboo, forsythia,and cherries I'd planned. My vegetable garden beds are probably going to languish this year as I can only work with what's already here. I was able to plant my bags of potatoes because that didn't entail any digging or mixing in compost - I bought pre-mixed soil for them. I have some planters of lettuces going, and my perennial herbs are up and going. My mint is back,and I'm going to have to bribe someone to rip out the horsetails (which will grow back because apparently I grow prehistoric plants really well).

This year's garden will be paltry compared to past years,and that wasn't in my plans.

I may even have to hire someone to mow my lawn - I've never hired anyone for that before!
