Wha, Glad for you and your new plants. I lost a small Japanese Maple last year when a big, but small compared to your branch came down and flattened it. I thought it was a total goner. I cut it back to the graft after it happened and forgot about it, and now it is growing a new leader and lots of leaves. A trooper.

Weather has squashed all my good intentions of work outside this week, so I have been cleaning up piles of old paperwork and garden catalogs. What a pile to throw out. I also did most of my fall bulb orders this week and have sent them off to Van Engelen, John Scheepers, Brent and Becky, Old House Garden and McClure and Zimmerman to add to the big order I did earlier to A.D.R. BULBS. I will have a few more when they post their goodies. Now to list them all in my journal. I have been more restrained than normal, so far.

Next big project is moving all the plants out of the Greenhouse to the porch. Next week, if it stops raining. DH took this cool shot of a blooming Calla in GH this week. Obviously the plants are going wild and need to go outside. Patti
