Busy.............................
My friends came back early yesterday morning to dig some more hostas and Lungwort/Pulmonaria. They didn't get this Hosta though. All of the ones I can see from my kitchen window are still there in the back garden. One flower bed way over in the back corner had hostas overlapping each other and covering up some small ones. Most of the Lungwort plants were along the front edge of the bed so I'm glad to see them removed. I have dozens of them growing in other places. After they left I got the hose out and watered all of the tomato and cucumber plants again. With temperatures around 90 the dirt dries out fast in the pots. Later in the day I did more cleaning in the basement and got some things back where they belong. I also pressed all of the Snail's Trail blocks. I didn't get any more fabric pressed or cut.The Coleus plants are doing great this year. I like the variety of colors and shapes of the leaves.
This is my view from my mailbox which is near the corner of the driveway and garage, looking toward my front porch. Since I have not been able to do much gardening it has become quite wild, but at least it is colorful. I need to dig out a lot of this in the fall.
The odometer on my van reached another milestone yesterday. It turned 74000 on Dec. 23, 2024. I averaged 53 miles a month, a little over 600 miles a year. The van is 22 years and 3 months old.

Your garden is so colorful and full! That is low milage for a 22 year old van.
Awesome garden photo’s today… I too love your vivid colorful Coleus this year. And what a splendid view of front garden leading to your front door.
very low mileage for your van but with not traveling anywhere it really does make a difference. You must be almost done with your basement organizing.
I read a book about personal finance about 40 years ago and one thing I remember the author pointing out is that it makes more economic sense to have a car for at least 10 years. I've pretty much lived by that. My current vehicle will be 10 years old in October.
Your garden may be a bit on the wild side but it is delightfully colorful! Sounds like your friends were able to get a lot of plants…..and I’ll bet you also had some good conversations.
You inspired me to try Coleus this year. Mine are doing wonderful too. I had never seen red ones before.
