Well, I have some dahlias that need potting (courtesy bigcityal), but I don't need good weather for that.

they ALMOST started work on my rose garden today. came with the sod cutter and couldn't get it working so they left and didn't come back. so they cut about a foot of sod. I thought they were delivering materials today, but nothing showed up, so I guess that didn't work out either. somebody will probably show up tomorrow and do something. I think my landscaper is more anxious than I am to get started on this. It's a pretty big job for him.

they also clean up my other beds and mulch, do some fertilizing, etc. I don't know if they'll work on the weekend at all. but I plan on closely supervising. all the roses have been ordered online, but I may go to the nursery with him to pick out some plants for the cottage garden bed. he's figuring the job will take them about 3-4 days. I did the design and expect them to stick to it, so I'll be out there with a ruler to rap their knuckles LOL

here's the paint lines, or as much as I can get with the camera
