Today I went out in the morning to pick some flowers to bring inside. Wow, was it hot, 88 and humid. Again, weeds everywhere but I kept to my mission and picked some hydrangeas, cone flowers, salvia, lilies, false sunflowers and scabiosa’s.
Today was also the last day of Master Gardener College. Everything went smoothly except at the very end of the last lecture, the screen froze and I didn’t get to see the closing section. I felt it went very good. Out of all the lectures that I saw, 8, in all, I liked two of them, but I did learn something from all of them. They have more classes recorded that I want to go back and take.
The two that I liked were: Innovative Home Composting, which I have wanted to do for a long time but I can’t because of physical limitations. The other was, Birds in the Virginia Landscape. I watched two on insects, The Mixed Blessing of Garden Insects, and The Under Celebrated Partners of the Bird World, meaning insects. I did learn, but felt the professor left the screen on gross stuff much longer than he should have. Particularly on a hummingbird caught up in a spiders web.
