Saturday, June 2 - Out early in the morning, I noticed my new hydrangea tree had tent worms. These small worms were moving around in their nested enclosure as the sun was warming their home. I was concerned as the leaves which were touching their web all had died. Luckily, the nest was at the end of two branches, and it was in its beginning stages, which made it easy to remove by cutting the branch.
After work, I spent the afternoon dead heading the purple and white salvia as well as my knock out roses. I also worked on my bird feeders and baths which is now part of my weekly routine.
Sadly, my snap peas and strawberries are done for the season. I have decided to remove the one path of berries tomorrow and till this area to plant the small seedlings which have grown from my compost bin. As some of the plants have matured, it appears I have some tomatoes, zucchini, and cantaloupe to transplant !
Our area was fortunate as the only remains from the heavy rains and winds were leaves on the ground and my grape vine breaking. I hope to take some time Sunday to repair this vine after working in my vegetable garden.
