Rosemary removed – Saturday, June 26, 2004 – Pic

Weather is Hot & Sunny.

Drive by in evening for look-see.

Notice hole in ground, then realize Rosemary is missing, including label/stick

What a drag.

Not a surprise, but a disappointment nonetheless.

This is the archive site for my Diary-X site Urban Wilderness which is now offline due to a hard drive failure.

At around 3pm on a hot, sunny day I attached my kid trailer [no kids] to the
back of my bike and went to Safeway and bought 4 40L bags of potting soil.

I then drove down to the north end of Science World where the bike path
meets with Pacific Ave and Quebec Street in Vancouver, BC and planted a
garden.

First, I put down newspapers to stop the weeds, which I cut down the Friday
before.

Then I emptied the two bags of soil onto the newspapers. I also brought a
bag of used coffee grounds from Starbucks’ Coffee. That went onto the pile.
The bag also contained used coffee filters, which I used as weed barrier
like the newspapers. Another two bags of soil went on the pile.

I used a hand rake to make it level and planted Cottage Perennial Mix &
Pacific N W Wildflower mix. To show that something was there, I also planted
2 Portulaca – Sundial Mix, 1 Golden Rain Rosemary.
I put a sign up on the telephone pole outlining project and providing my
contact info.

>This was the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival so hundreds of people were walking by. Many had positive comments. Nice.
