Wednesday we are having a potluck here, and since today is Sunday I should be cleaning the house.So of course I spent most of the day fiddling around and moving a tree out in the backyard and finally building my shelving for my succulents.
The tree in question is actually the world's most gigantic rosemary bush which is about a foot and a half taller than I am. It is at its most beautiful right now with a long fronds of blue flowers. Or at least it was this morning. Now it might be dying.
The goal was to move it about 2 feet away from where it was which was in a half barrel. As we started trying to move it, it became obvious that a the bottom of the barrel was going to fall out and that the roots of the plant went down into the ground underneath the barrel.
Anyone who didn't want to kill the plants would have stopped right there and just left it where it was. But we called Michael to come over and help us move it.
He was a good sport and came over even though he was promised it would only take 20 minutes and he was here for about an hour.
After we finally got it moved it looks pretty good, although we had to put it into a new barrel and ended up with tons of dirt all over the place. And it seems to be dying.
Then I built my little shelf system which I actually built three different times lifting those damn cement blocks up every time. But my little cactus garden looks quite cute now.
