It was 90's again, as it loves to be for my days off when I could get something done. I did manage to get some stuff accomplished though- in the early AM I potted up an iris order and weeded all the pots again. Then I started planting out the garden bed I've been working on. I had to double back a bit, earlier in the week I pulled a few roses out of a bed that is a bit too poorly draining. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell in summer as things do dry out, but, in the spring it was obvious that no rose was going to thrive in those spots longterm. I pulled those to move them and replaced with hardy hibiscus, Louisiana iris and chelone. So glad I bought a variety this year! Moved those roses to higher ground and then went back to work on the new bed.
This is an ugly photo, because it was closing in on 9 pm, but, you can see what I finished up.
As an aside, I absolutely love this wagon. I use it every single day. I have a piece of plywood I set on it for up potting plants, I mix the dirt in the wagon and then have my small piece of plywood over the back third as a work station. I just wish they sold accessories for it. I would love a cupholder/phone holder and a place to hang a mesh bag for small tools. It's pretty much my favorite garden purchase and I'm so glad I went ahead and bought it when my spouse said we already had a wheelbarrow. We basically never use the wheelbarrow anymore, this is just much more pleasant.
