I think I've created a monster.
My lemon balm keeps swallowing up the two little marigolds I planted next to it like some kind of cannibalistic monster.
Life! Life! Give my creation life!!
I have no idea where that came from....Sheesh.
Anyway, I keep having to cut it back so the little marigolds can get some sunlight. I've got to find something to do with it. Besides drying it and giving it to Cody, I mean. I already have an 8 oz jar full of the stuff, and it's still a long time until the first frost. I know the stuff has tons of medicinal uses, too. I just need to do a little research into that.
Well, at least next year I'll know not to plant marigolds under it.
While I was out there, I noticed that one of my zinnias had flopped over.
It's the only one that did that, and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe all of the rain we've had this week softened the soil, but I would have thought they'd all be flopping over if that were the case. No matter, I ran and got some of my extra tomato cage parts -- being thankful I sprung for the six pack-- and made a bit of a trellis for it.
It hasn't actually rained any today, so I was able to get my garden flag hung.
That one will stay up at least until Fall, when I start hanging seasonal flags. The last thing I did today was to get my missing man place set up.
Now it's time for the National Memorial Day Concert, which I never miss.
I'll catch you later.
