Morning exercise…..gardening!
Whew! That was quite a heavy downpour last night saturating the garden. It rains almost every day now either late at night or early in the morning.
It’s the perfect time to tend the garden for a while. I noticed some shoots of my yellow Iris growing with small roots. Have to cut them and replant. Trimmed my Mulberry tree too, it is fast growing and I am thinking of removing it for good. Mulberries grow tall as high as 70 feet and they need a larger space to spread their roots. I am afraid that when this grows even bigger, our septic vault would be affected. I already cut the branches but the roots are still intact. Good thing it is just about a year old since I planted it as a cutting. I googled about it and I was so disappointed to know that it will take ten years before it bears those tiny fruits.
I need to transfer and replant my prayer plants. The outer leaves are already dry. If it does not rain this afternoon, they are next.
Prayer plants
They’ll be good combined with the purple-leaf plant that I have at the back garden but I don’t know its name.
Yellow Iris
Really need to propagate this lovely yellow Iris. It’ll be perfect at the round bed where the Mulberry tree is right now.
So much to do but I find gardening so fulfilling.
