The pool's liner has a leak. So we will be replacing it. I am not saying I am upset about this. I didn't care for the liner and it pleases me to help choose the new one. I have been comparing memorial days, or at least I did last year to the year before. Not sure if this year is better. As an accountant, I use a "balance sheet" concept to snapshot a point in time to compare. I am hoping one day it will seemed to be improved but I notice that gardeners tend to be their own worst critic.
I intend to use Mexican Heather for some of the peacock tail or I may use another type of flower. It's easier to buy a pallet than move theses.
I need a break from the peacock. So this weekend I was going to work on the back rose garden. Weeding, pruning, feeding, mulching etc. Today, is gonna be a scorcher and my muscles hurt terribly so I may start on it this evening.
The trench where the water pipe still isn't filled in so I need to do that.
The lead hose to the water timer is leaking so will be fixing that and pruning these bottlebrushes and azaleas. I was gonna move the bottlebrush but I sit on the porch watching one hummingbird after another eat them so I think they will stay.
The bed with the sundail is completely overrun. The morning glory that I did not plant can stay but the rest goes and it needs to be finally irrigated.
Side bed looks okay but needs to be weeded...again. I should have used the preen.
Hydragengea irrigation systems seems to not be flowing properly but they are blooming anyway.
Easter lilies are starting to bloom.

I mulched the peacock tail last night. It took six bags and it really wasn't enough. Will have to go to Lowe's instead of the co-op.
Morning glories are popping up.
Pennington wildflower mix that I planted two years ago and never again (because I don't have to) It reseeds itself. They are starting to come up.
I can tell now the daylilies from the once blooming lilies that my Aunt Agnes gave me. Not all the wildflower seeds I planted had washed away so those are coming as well.
I don't know what this purple flower is but I thought it was pretty.
