It was so top heavy after moving it to this smaller pot that it blew over in a strong wind. It needed shaping anyway. So, I chopped it. Now, I’m waiting to see if I killed it.

My husband has always debated with himself about what to do with the photos he takes. They are mostly for himself. But, he would like to share with people who have a similar esthetic. He decided to create a zine, more for his own entertainment than anything. A project for his amusement. He had a copy in his backpack when he went into The Concern newsstand in Chapel Hill and, after some conversation, showed it to the person running it. She asked to sell it. And she has asked for more copies. He is astonished.

I’m a little bit of a dingbat and I forgot to take a picture of the roots after I trimmed them.
It does have a nice healthy root ball. Mostly, I just rimmed the edges.
And I put it in the remaining pot of the trio Patti made for me.

I decided to change the maple forest and cedar pots.
One of the maples is dead. But, since that happens in forests, I haven’t removed it from the arrangement. I don’t know if I will modify this later or leave it as it is.
They all need shaping.

Last year, I read that strawberries and asparagus grow well together. The strawberries keep the weeds out of the asparagus bed and the asparagus ferns shade the strawberries through the summer heat. Yesterday, I picked up some strawberry plants and found as a delightful surprise.
Also, the fuchsia died and, now, that pot has purple pansies and yellow moss roses in it.And the hummingbird feeders are out. I used this map to decide it was time.
Last Thanksgiving I had a really hard time finding sage for the gravy and dressing. That’s when I learned that Thanksgiving is the sage flavored holiday. I’m not dealing with that again. This went in the ring bed in the back.
