Spring spending spree part 4

Bill, this would look nice near your lanterns.

i've looked at that a couple times - folks across the street have something similar - think the one at p&h it is a bit over the top - it looks to sturdy to me - something more delicate would be nicer - i do have the three japanese bells, they are hanging off a candleabra inside.

In what way??

the arbor itself is too tall and the metal too thick and i do not like the square look to the metal. thinner and round and not so tall. only my opinion.

just placed an order for clems with debbie

Diamantina
Arctic Queen
Daniel Deronda
Multi Blue

was very happy she had a few of the new Diamantina.

Nice.

Can't wait to plant the ones I ordered.....

Went to Christmas Tree Store...that place is soooooo dangerous

Yes Allison, I did buy 2 of those mushrooms!!!

My credit card is smokin and all I have to show for it is a new Gardening vest,Bags of bonemeal,fert for rhodies and no plants.

At least you bought necessaties

Stopped in Walmart's for face cream....bought a bag of dahlias & Dutch iris!

I liked those Jen.. good for you... it was hard for me to walk away from them!!!

How well do they work on the skin, Marilyn? ^_^

They bring a smile to my face, & that erases the wrinkles!

Hee hee!

When I smile my whole face looks like a dried prune!

Like this, Frank?? ^_^

Bought 4 bags of potting soil mix. I added every container 36.OMG where am I going to hide 10 of them.

I never made it to Ocean State.....my friend wanted to go to Home Depot....well, as you entered, there were boxes of bulbs....anemones & more Akita dahlias came home with me....not my fault!

Its been a hard winter on all of us.You deserve a treat.
Knobs are done

great job JoAnn.. love them!!

I got 2 big boxes of primula that I ordered in the fall from Seneca who was sadly going out of business. I went hog wild. I will plant them soon, but I need to finish making a new bed that many are going in first. But first I need to finish cleaning up all the old beds as the bulbs are popping up and I have to have them clean. I ordered a couple of other things from her too, but bulbs. My big orders are for Japanese maples. Can't wait for them to come. So much to do first , but the weather has been great.

I was suppose to go up to the pottery studio for a few days, but putting that off until the weather is crappy again, no doubt soon. Love the knobs. Patti

Gee Vic, you know me so well!!!

nice Patti!!!

Lost power this afternoon. It came back on about 5 pm but wonder if damage as TV didn't want to turn off. Didn't want to wake up DH so I turned the sound down to the bottom & he can deal with it tomorrow.

Why didn't you pull the plug!?

Frank, there is no way that I can crawl around behind the bookcase which the TV sits on. DH says he will look to change the batteries in the remote. I could change stations all right, but it would not turn off.

That is strange, iris.

Bbrook - if you don't have room for all those primroses you can send me up some! I've got to get some more. The ones I do have I got at a church plant sale.

batteries were replaced in the remote this morning & suddenly all is well. I didn't want to wake DH up late last night, & this morning he said that he had extras of the correct batteries.

I haven't checked on our one polyanthus primrose.

Nice haul Patti

We went shopping today for a shed and stone.

Hubby is finally getting that extra shed so we can get all the work stuff out of the garden one. We went down to a flea market that has a separate building of Amish made furniture and sheds....a vinyl shed there is only $200 more than the wood ones at home depot and they have free delivery


The stone is for the mini driveway we'll be doing for his trailer so we can put it in the backyard...all that work will be done by a landscaper

Isn't it lovely to be able to do yard work again? I also need more primroses....saw some in WFF catalog that I liked.....

I got all my primroses at a great price as she was closing down her nursery and some are the same ones from North Hill in Vt that WFF sells for big bucks. The North Hill Garden in southern Vt is about the most beautiful garden I have ever seen. Sadly one of the owners died suddenly last fall. They have a stand of primula that is beyond spectacular.

Sorry Frank, they are all planted except for a few that are going to my pal Boojum who is no longer on DG, but I see her sometime when I go to Vt and I follow her on that other site.

FlowAjen, Lucky you, I could use another shed. I would go with the Amish one as I'll bet it is better made. Please post pictures of the project.

I did order more hosta liners and some sedum on a coop on yahoo. Not sure why I ordered more hosta, but want the sedum for the second new Japanese Maple Bed in on the edge of our West woods. Sounds grand, but it is actually a small stand of trees that we like to think of as woods. Patti

I have 22 bags of glads....why I don't know. Any one want some bulbs???????

dem2rd, OMG , that is a lot of glads. Glad you have them and not me. I have discovered that some of ours seem to keep coming back. I did plant them deep, so I am not planting more until I figure out how many are hardy for us in Nantucket. These are ones that aren't suppose to be. I use to dig and store them and one year I missed some and they just have just continued to bloom for the last couple of years. The ones I stored did fine for a couple of years then one year I did something wrong and they rotted. Patti

jen - you should build your own shed - it is amazing what wall 8' high allow you to store - most pre-packaged sheds are only 5 or 6'.

pfft...he barely had time to go shopping, I'd be waiting years for that shed, we're getting a 8'X12'

That is a cottage! nice. Patti

Good place to banish hubby if he misbehaves.

when i built mine i would go out every day after work to get something done - i would walk across the yard with my carpenters belt on and hammer swaying - my wife would whistle - once i started hammering the local pileated wood pecker mistook it for a mating call - cindy would sit on the deck and laugh at me and my new girlfriend!

LOL
