Thursday, September 28, 2017 – Elder Skog, Pull Women’s Garden, New Grove Tree Poisoning

We were at it again today. This time we were in the Women’s Garden and we completely removed five of the large flowerbeds. Mind you, these are the same flowerbeds that on Monday, I lovingly cared for, weeded and manicured; now they are all gone. 

The five large flowerbeds we pulled this morning is only about half of all of the flowerbeds in the women’s garden. We will probably get to the rest next week. The plan is to start planting 24,000 Tulip, Jonquils, Hyacinth and Narcissus bulbs next month so we have a lot of work to do to prepare all of the flowerbeds. Cold weather is coming and the bulbs will love it. By April these flowerbeds will be alive with color.

Mid-morning and after lunch we continued our project in the “New Grove” west of the Temple. Richard  finished whacking down the last of the big patches of tall weeds with the hedge trimmer. The rest of us were all cutting down and poisoning volunteer trees or what I like to call “Rogue Trees.” Killing trees in the New Grove will take much more time. We will probably continue to work on the project for the next week or so, as time permits.
