Wednesday, May 17, 1989 We have had an extraordinary week, absolutely hectic, but I suppose it is just at the beginning of a busy summer. Not one day passed without company of some sort; some only stayed for coffee or tea, others just for lunch or dinner, while others were two day visitors. ~ Much as we love them, it docs play havoc with gardening. (I sincerely hope none of them read this!) No matter how early I rise in the morning, nor how how hard I work, I never seem to be © finished by bedtime — which, I might add comes mighty carly these days, usually long before “himself” has finished with some TV program he is involved with. He eventually comes to bed, and when I roll over, half-dazed, he says, “Fat lot of company you are these days! but I am far too tired for a fight, so grunt a blurry, “Sorry, dear” and sneak back to slee Often he pats me, and murmurs, “You must learn to slow down,” but I have a terrible fecling that if I do, I'll come to a full ‘ stop, and that wouldn’t suit either onc of us. I have had an interesting few days watering Art Amcs’ vegetables and Thelma’s flowers, while they attended a conven- tion. Art and I did a trade-off — if I looked after his garden, he would. look after all these idiot tomatocs I have going, plus a _ whole lot of other things. Poor man, I don’t envy him. We are to be away four days. I have been hardening-off the tomatoes, but suddenly the warm weather | © we had been enjoying has changed. Today when the wind was fair howling, and chilly as February, I gave up the hardcning-off. business, and rushed the whole lot of them back into the greenhouse. I left them outside overnight, just once covering them with Reemay cloth, and propping old windows around them, but in spite of all my care in fastening the Reemay securcly, it shifted during the night, exposing half the plants, and breaking off three big Salt Spring Island tomatoes. Because the wind has dropped, perhaps they should come back out. Certainly it is a lot easier to care for them outside, than it is trying to water so many in the narrow confines of the greenhouse, Worry, worry! I feel guilty as sin . leaving them right now, but this is an “ important trip for “Himsclf,” so I must really go along, forgetting, if possible, my concerns here at home. Art’s garden, is, as usual; doing beautifully. You won’t believe how tempted I was by his brugeoning asparagus bed. He hadn’t mentioned my picking any, so (determined to be scruptiously . honest) I.never cut.a single stalk. -It nearly killed me to see those fat succulent asparagus spears rise out of the soil, grow-inches a day, and have to leave them to become those lovely wafting wands sO prized by florists for “bouquets. Les. Moore called to tell us that his dahlia sale’ ‘was a great | success.’ He garnered $380 for The Review-Lions Food Bank, and. ~ added a personal donation of $119, which i is a very handsome gift es indecd| “ : ; ‘Kitchen FAMILY, RESTAURANT | OWNER Now Open: .- | 7:00 a. m.-7:30 P. me: DAILY ‘Harding & Hall ‘Insurance Ltd. {n the Save- On Foods Complex) 3567 Ravine Way | SAANICH - 383-31 1 4 SPECIAL ISTS IN: -» Commercial/ _ Business _ Insurance Packages ~¢ Contractors’ ~- Insurance | * Manufacturing. .

The Saanich Peninsula Hospital called, and the very pleasant. caller assured me gently that I was full of prunes about the hospital not having enough vases, that the cupboards are full of them, and she wondered where on carth Lloyd had found a quart jar! Sorry about that! Another caller wondered how much corn starch was needed to” J keep tulips standing up straight. Actually I just guess, but I thinka ~ half-tcaspoon in two cups of water should do it, more or less, depending on the size of your container. Sometimes I stir it in, and _other times I don’t, and it doesn’t secm to matter to the tulips. But - ‘it is easier to wash out the vase later if the corn starch is all dissolved, and not gummed up all around the bottom. Back to summer flowering bulbs — corms, tubers, and fleshy rooted plants. Oddly cnough, a lot of these beautics begin with an | “a.” Today we have agapanthus (Lily of the Nile), ancmonics, and | alstroemcria. Agapanthus is an elegant plant with long narrow Icaves, and dainty very long stems, topped with a beautiful lacy inverted saucer of either bluc or white flowers. They are available, potted, in nurseries, and may be planted right in the pot since they like to be ~ confined. They aren’t completely hardy here, as we found out the hard way this: winter. With a heavy winter mulch, though, they should survive, I had thought we lost the lot, but while digging out the pots, found that a couple were still alive, and it didn’t take me long to get them back under the soil. ® Something that I’m sure we all love are the alsttocinerias: which | ® come along with their exotic bloom in the summer and fall. Like » the agapanthus they will need a deep mulch if they are to survive our winters. They do best planted in a sunny location, or one with partial shade, in moist, decp, sandy to medium loam. Anemonies come in various forms, from the dainty blandas which are planted in: fall,.to.the more familiar poppy- flowered . deCaen and St. Brigit which may be platned either spring of:fall, to - } ‘the Japanese ancmone which may reach a height of four feet. . Buy established plants of the later if possible, as these lovely things aren’t too casy to get going, although once they: are, they will spread most satisfactorily.
