Garden work, but not about vegetables!

I'm tired but happy from having puttered in the garden all day today. Didn't get in the car to go anywhere, hardly did any Master Gardener work other than some e-mails. What I did do:

• I finished redistributing all of our garden art. We used to have an old fence that I started adorning with sundry plaques, masks, etc., whatever caught my fancy. We now have a nice, new fence, put up last year, but we also like all of the collected stuff well enough to put it back onto the new fence, in addition to placing other bits of statuary around the garden. It's one of those tasks that I have to let my brain mull over for a while before I get out there and do it. If I get ambitious, I'll take a few pictures of some of our more whimsical objets d'art. One of my favorite bits, probably too subtle for most people to even notice, is a piece of broken mirror placed against the bottom of the fence, which makes it look like there's a ragged hole leading to the next yard.
• I cleaned and stored all of the garlic that I've had drying in the pergola. My gardening partner and I grew eight different varieties(!), and there are some distinct differences. Zemo and Music Pink did not bulb up well at all, for instance, probably because our winter isn't cold enough for them (softnecks do better here than hardnecks). I've got the bags sitting here in my office to make a few more notes about before putting them in storage. I can smell that there are a few dicey ones that didn't dry properly -- must pull them out asap.
• I cut back my Mutabilis rose. I know, it's not the right time, but it always seemed to be blooming whenever I thought of it. I haven't cut it back for a few years and while it was gorgeous in bloom, it was had taken over too much real estate. Plus there was a lot of dead growth in the middle. It's much smaller now and will probably have a lovely new flush of flowers in a month or so.
• I cut back my raspberries. I'm not entirely convinced I really have to cut the canes that just finished bearing, because several of them looked like they were happily sending out new growth. Still, it looks so nice to get those old, scraggy ones out of there and just have the fresh green shoots coming up. Besides, Mike is doing a little more patio work next to them, so getting them out of the way is good. But next year I'm going to experiment with encouraging regrowth on some of the old canes. I have a vague notion that I might be able to get more out of them by training them horizontally, like pegging rose canes.
