Late to report in, but nevertheless:
This month's goals are still mostly garden related but I need to wrap it up as much as possible by the end of this month.
Now I'm just
scrambling to get the last of the plants and bulbs into the ground and
making a plan, in order of priority, to finish as many of the remaining projects as possible.
GARDEN - still on the agenda
1. Several privacy trellis throughout the garden - hopefully this will begin to happen next week.
2. Set up a small pergola - despite the size this project requires
leveling, clearing, maybe renting a tamp down thingy and putting down gravel, and adding a stone border.
This week - find all the pieces and engage a contractor for leveling and fill holes in the ground.
3. I thought I was done painting, but it looks like we'll be using some of my old trellises for our privacy trellis project.
That and a table I'd forgot about that needs to be sanded and primed/painted to keep the tabletop from rusting - oh well, at least it will be a quickie.
Mr. R. fixed a couple of garden doodads that broke and I'm thinking of slow :) brush painting one last metal art piece.
4. PLANTING - next up are:
Vanilla Orchid, four plumeria, three papyrus, transplanting one Alocasia and three Blackberry Iris/Lily?, one Caribbean Spider Lily, six Airplane plants and several different ferns.
Aloes - this is its own planting project... plant - re-plant and display a ton of Aloe - that requires a lot of moving, clearing out and cleaning up and a bit of creativity. I will get to play a little.
Also,
there are a lot of bulbs...
5. Purchase three palms and several climbing vines for the trellis project.
HOME
LIGHTING replacements
I still need a kitchen, a dining and a study light fixture as well as a new fan with light for the living room.
We'll see how that progresses - I'm working on it.
This month's progress so far :
Every day I've been active in the garden, planting, painting, weeding, and working on projects.
It is moving forward ...
