It's raining outside so I can't go out and play. Thus far we have had a little more than 3/4 of an inch of rain, as it's been raining pretty much all day. I ordered 6 yards of hemlock mulch (3 were delivered today, 3 will come tomorrow) from Whittier Farms in Sutton. It's bark mulch not organic mulch, but it is local and it's in bulk. It cost $286 delivered. So I'll be spreading it over the next few days or more. I hope that this will cover the SE bed, the NE foundation bed and the White Garden bed with a little left over to add to the front and the Crabapple beds. I only want about an inch to an inch and a half over these beds. We'll see if it's enough.
Got a new shovel at Sears. It's guaranteed for life, so if I break it digging out a rock, it'll be replaced. I also looked at the Emerald Green Arborvitae at HD in Oxford. They're on sale at 50% off and about 5-6 feet tall. I need these along the fence for a privacy screen. I will need to borrow a truck to get them here, and I need to figure out how many I need. They'll be about $14 a piece. I can hold these until Spring in a holding bed.
Here's a picture of Hosta Stained Glass from yesterday. Pretty good looking for Oct 18th. No frost yet.
