ksmithOutdoor work today. Planted the rhododendron, finally. I wound up taking the stones leftover from last year's planter construction and using them to trim the area. The stones weigh over 20 pounds each, so the wheelbarrow got a workout. So did my shoulders.
I also planted an hibiscus, a lovely tree-like thing with vermilion blooms. I fear it may not last the winter, but we'll see. I have it in a sheltered place.
Hummingbirds have also been spotted, so I put out some nectar feeders.
Yesterday, I spread the organic lawn fertilizer in the backyard. It's a corn gluten product that is used in some animal feeds, so it's, well, safe to use around the dogs. A strong smell, like Ovaltine. It rained last night, so it's almost all dissolved/absorbed. It will be interesting to see how this stuff works.
