7-21-06 VERMONT: Yesterday was another work day, all routine stuff, final finishing of the pruning of the lilac hedge, weed wacking around the fence roses, some weeding, raked up grass cuttings in the swamp which was mowed for the first time, pulled all the dead Woodward viburnums form the wall at the southern end of the lawn and other stuff I forgot. Those viburnums were eaten by some little wormy bug in late spring, the others survived the assault, and I sprayed the big one by the porch. The loss of these shrubs leaves a hole in the border about twelve feet long that I will fill with burning bush volunteers. Today I’m in the library to recuperate.
New blooms: helenium, monks hood, lingularia, more asian lilies.
