It's that time of year to clean the yard and plan on next year's gardens. I'm so happy to be pain free, finally, and I can't wait to really get to work out there. We had quite a bit of wind last week and I spent a couple of days cleaning the yard and doing a little weeding. And we had rain! We need a lot more to bring our water tables up but the plants loved the rain.

I finally figured out my Calla Lily problem. The roots were hitting somthing hard (maybe cement or hard packed dirt) and couldn't go any deeper. So I moved them into my new garden and I'll have hubby dig down in the old garden and see what's down there. Until then I have pots of plants in the old garden. I can't wait until my next trip to the garden store!

Glad you got to the "root" of the problem. IT is sad to see a plant not thriving when one cares so much for them.

I'm so pleased for you! And the Calla lilies too. Go dig, girl, and enjoy yourself.

Pain free at last!! You are going to have soooo much fun now that you have recovered. So pleased to hear that your callas are on the mend too. I just hope that your hubby hasn't got too much digging to do to find out what was causing the problem.

Happpy gardening Eileen.

Glad to hear that you are more mobile now and being paiun-free, I can imagine that you are chomping at the bit to get gardening.

Some plots and yards have a "pan" as they are called down a spade depth or two. It's hard work, but the pan can be broken-up and re-covered. It's not fun work, but it it important to do to have a fully successful gareen. If it's cement--that's a whole different subject.
Good luck and ...welcome back to the garden! :)
