Note to self: BUY GARDENING GLOVES! After bragging to John that I never get blisters, I now have blisters. They HURT like hell. I planted all the rest of my stuff today. My two Climbing Shell Plants finally came in, along with my four o clock seeds (to replace the poor dead ones). I also finally got the two hydrangeas in as well. So after two hours of digging in the ground on my knees, I have blisters. They suck. I will no longer brag that I cannot get blisters, and I will never laugh at John again when he says they hurt like hell.
As far as I can tell, the hummingbirds never came back either. I’ve been keeping an eye out, but have seen nothing. I keep my hopes up, because it looks like the sugar water levels in the feeders are slowly falling, but I can’t be sure if I’m not just imagining it. If I didn’t have about 15 blurry photos of a hummingbird, I would think I just imagined their visits too! Grrr.
