yes we are remodeling and we have no plans to move for a very long time. I am stuck in tulsa while my parents are still alive. they are celibrating their 48th wedding aniversary next month or is it august already? we bought new furniture this last week also. I am sooooo ready for the 60" hd tv 1080p 120+htz refresh is killer at those speeds. Kim did about have a fit when the homedepot guy told her that the 300 dollar floor was actually going to be closer to $1000.00. she thought we just needed 3 boxes ...nope it was 10 boxes...lol oh well looks like we will be on concrete floors for a bit.
we are not doing the marathon remodel like we did back in 03 we were finished in 07 and sold it. Kim bought the condo thinking she would be a single lady and quietly eek out her lkife quietly....yea right ... the whole cotten pickin family moved in...
I took before pics when we moved in. we just ordered our new front doors very cool with beveled glass.
We are known for our clay. remember we were known for our sod houses "sod busters". A good drought tolerant grass is bermuda... we have it and some fescue in the shade. the poor fescue is trying to die....
Ok who has the endless summer hydrangia? I need some for mom. I really hate to go pay the what 20 or 30.00 for a nice plant at the local no kill nursery (lol) she is insistant that she gets some. of course she will plants stuff in the spring and do well untill it gets above 80 and then its on its own. I don't know why. she does manage to grow african violets though. I think I am upto 4 kinds of hydrangea, 3 double rose of sharon, a couple of yews and a few wiegelia and a named variety of boxwood so its no more buxus spp. now it will be wintergreen boxwood or Korean boxwood. Of course I need to get rid of my liners and gallon plants for cutting stock. I need to stop and get my head wraped arround the plants I got in as cutting stock. I am trying to get to where I have everyone named so its not a huge ???? I really wonder if its all a conspiracy to have the "right" type of box wood or hydragea or spirea.
The magical walkway is still pebbles and stepping stones. I am not sure if it will get planted or not I will need a bluezillion to cover the 100+ feet of walk.
I am sowing seeds and doing cuttings. every day I try to get 1 thing done. friday it was a nap ... phone would not allow me to. I planted some dianthus, corriopsis, ox-eye daisy, alaska shasta's, and a few others. My scull cap is finally ready to come out off the mist. so is the little blue flowered thingy ma bob ground cover. I just got in my seed order last thursday. penstemon, another variety of scullcap, 3 kinds of grass and a few other things. I will tell you they aint no 99 cents a packet of seeds either.
oh well enough whaaa whaaa whaaa for nor I think I will scuffle off to bed and try to sleep. Tomorrow's goal is to do the cuttings from my gold mound spirea's. I think I have about 100 of the Spiraea japonica 'Shirobana' or pepermint spirea rooted and ready to come out to harden off.
Oh yea I need to take pics of the monsterous bench I built and had to shoe horn into the greenhouse. Its still a work in progress though. I just increased bench space by 15 trays so now its 40 trays a turn, I just need to clone my self so I can box and ship. hey will that daisy cloner clone me?????
