I usually handle destruction, but settled for making some plant frames we ordered actually work. They&#8217;re a clever idea, a scrollwork shell to provide trellis for vines over the downspouts from the gutter. The problem is, they were designed to be screwed to the wall and we have brick. So I Rube-Goldberged a wire connection for each section and got 2 of them done. Jane, meanwhile, was cold, tired, and wet, and we planted the hydrangea, which had taken the total revision of a bed, manure, compost, mulch and weedcloth (but it looks good)&#8212;leaving several other plants for Another Day, because we were both tired, wet, and cold. Jane says it&#8217;s a sample of gardening on the Wet Side of the Cascades.

There&#8217;s just no warmth to be had, and the nights are in the 40&#8217;s or low 40&#8217;s. Koi aren&#8217;t very active until 58 degrees, and we aren&#8217;t always hitting that as a high.<\/p>\n<p>Brrr. I admit it.
