Rain! Finally!

Finally some rain today here in Harrisburg! Although it hasn't been enough, still anything is better then nothing! Unfortunately not enough rain to encourage the worms out onto the road, I really need worms for my composter. Temperature was pretty nice, only the humidity made it unpleasant. Didn't manage to get very much done outside. Gardening/landscaping is a really good hobby, very satisfying, highly recommended! And hey improving the property value isn't a bad thing. I do however find myself consumed with the desperate desire to have the nicest yard in the neighborhood, this might not be a good thing... I think there's only 1, maybe 2 in the neighborhood that are definite challengers (Damn them! I must crush them! - See them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women!).

Had the wind come up, knock over a terracotta pot with a "Mandevilla" (Alice Dupont) in it so off to the (really nice) Highland Gardens garden center (I recommend them in Harrisburg, really great place) to get a replacement (and yes of course a few other things...)! Plus a new bigger bamboo trellis for it to grow on. Ended up with a replacement Bamboo (another Fargesia Robusta) to replace the one I may well have killed by watering (Who would have known!? The tag didn't tell me, nor did I see anything on any site I'd checked... Word of warning, don't water your Fargesia Robusta clumping bamboo more then 1 time every week or 2!).

Tomorrow whole day stuck out in the "coal-region". A work thing. I don't want to even talk about it. Oh well, sounds like it's going to be too hot and humid to do the yard work I'd like to be doing anyway...
