Another Week At The Urban Garden About To Begin
Well it is the beginning of a new week at the urban garden. This week we are working on the planting beds in the west parking lots. We are pruning off the suckers on the trees and mulching all the beds. Due to a very hard winter we are also getting a count on the couple of hundred perennials that we lost over the winter and placing an order. We lost a large number of Non Stop Roses as well which is unusual as they are generally very hardy and care free.
The weather has been pretty rainy as of late so the work schedule is a little off but thank goodness we are not experiencing the flooding that some in the Midwest are. We have been able to work around the rain and keep most of the schedule intact . Usually we would be starting the first round of hedge trimming this week but again the rain has slowed us a bit.
There are no major projects scheduled for the grounds this year as we are waiting for the building addition to be permitted and started. It looks like now it may be July before they break ground. The challenges still continue though we have had 7 sewer collapses this year so we have had to schedule those repairs around a very busy schedule in the parking lots.
I hope you can get out in your gardens this week and spend some time. It is really a great way to relieve some stress and get your spirits back in high gear.
