I've been working in my flower garden the last couple days-cleaning it up, weeding, putting in finished  compost, transplanting things, thinning things.

I wish I had never planted mint, Chinese lanterns or "obedient" plant.  Obedient plant should be called disobedient plant.  There's a formal name for it, but can't remember it.

I'm constantly pulling them up out of other plants.  I transplanted some mint to the edge of the woods because I don't care if they spread over there.  I need to do the same thing with the other two.

My raspberry transplants aren't doing so well.  I'm hoping that all the watering I'm doing for them will help them to rebound and begin to thrive.  The blueberry bushes and the fruit trees seem to be doing great, though.

I've been doing a lot of weeding in my veggie garden, too.  And over there, the strawberry plants are giving me problems.  They won't stay in their assigned raised beds!!  LOL  And it feels so wrong to pull them up and toss them!

The new calf is doing well, and we now have a total of 8 chicks that hatched.  Only 1 egg didn't hatch out of 10. 

We took down some fencing today and pulled out the fence posts, moved some compost to places that needed it.   I guess that's it.
