treeskinGot the (18!) shrubs planted and watered in and remulched, helped Donna in the greenhouse for a couple of hours, AND got the truck cleaned out. And silly me, I have two flats of stuff to plant when I get home, plus the hyacinths and some tulips. For some very strange reason, I have no resistance against those tall orange tulips we planted this year. Can't remember the name, but they're very nice. Went ahead and sent the PT shop guy home, because he was twiddling his thumbs and all the trucks and fleet cars were shiny clean. He's worked that hard all day, he deserves to go home early. Heck, slow as it is, I may sneak out soon myself. No one's here to notice.
Two flats of stuff from the greenhouse, because Donna has this running joke about having to make up the difference later, if you don't take a full flat each trip. And she'll fill it with something diabolical, given half a chance. So, I got a full flat of Verbena bonairiensis, aka verbena-on-a-stick or hell's violet or that damn verbena, because I want to set if free in the iris beds. And the second flat is mixed 4" and larger pots--a wild rose that came up in one of her beds, a seedling red Japanese maple (very cute), pineapple sage, fruit-scented sage, some other strange flowering salvias whose names I've already forgotten, a nice purple-leafed plectranthus, a silver-leafed plectranthus, and an adorable little pot of Cuphea 'Tiny Mice'. Oh, and 2 pots of rosemary. She's threatening to send much more home on Monday. 'Tis the season.

Date: 2004-05-01 04:00 pm (UTC)I need to till and redo the veggie garden this year, so rather than fight with it this spring I'm planning to put the veggies either in pots on the deck or in the beds just below the deck. Then I'm going to move the perennials out of the veggie garden (walking onions, garlic, shallots, some herbs, strawberries, three Nanking cherry trees, and more iris), and start over.
Monday's haul will probably be more stuff for pots, plus a few perennials. Depends on what we have time for; the week before plant sale is always a zoo.
