Wow, how I admire you for being able to do that. I no longer have the stamina to do much in our yard. I do have lots of inside plants that I nurture, but my physical condition won't allow me to do so many things I used to take care of and I am reminded often not to overdo the ones I still do. I have many African Violets in my window seals in the kitchen and breakfast room and they bloom all year. I feed them with tepid tea and they really thrive on it. I used to start them from leaves but have so many, don't feel I need any more. My backyard has something blooming each month and I enjoy the sight while looking out our breakfast window. A friend from Washington State sent me some strawberry plants and they are potted and waiting now to see them bear fruit. I have never grown them before so hoping I have luck with them. Out of seven plants, four have survived and doing well. Glad to hear you son is now helping you and hope he agrees to your restoration. Our summers are very hot and many here have had heat strokes while doing their lawns so we do have to pay attention to that. I used to love doing beds and put a layer of soil, a layer of peat moss and a layer of mulch at least three times and my beds were so easy to weed. When we moved here the yard had mostly shrubs and I love flowers so changed some things around and made some of the beds larger, then we added a sprinkler system because of the heat in the summer days. Keeps everything green and healthy looking.
