Spending Spree part 5

They actually use both soft & hard plastic pots, Debi....the soft ones, like bags, are closest to the road, the hard plastic pots are about 1/2 way down the field....I noticed today some of the soft bag ones had fallen over.....

Could you take some pics of those, Marilyn? I would like to see.

Carrie, I have visited and made purchases on eBay already this year, over a month ago. Daylilies, of course.

Karen

I have plenty of regular pots, just trying to decide if all the extra openings in a strawberry pot is worth it. It could keep the fruit cleaner is about all I can think of.

I added up my orders so far this season and havnt spent 1/4 th of what I did the past 3 years. I didnt include planters and garden art.
Christmas Tree Shop here is having a sale on Patio and Garden stuff.
New planters $30.ea going to look great with Silver Falls.
I'm going to see if my fake terrecotta planters will fit into them.I'm not keene on 30 inches of wasted plant mix.

Those are great, Jo. Will look wonderful all filled up.

Karen

Pretty pots, Jo. Karen, I have no art class next week as my teacher is in Colorado for Easter, but I will take photos in 2 weeks when I go past the strawberries.....I'll write myself a note!

Cardinal flower & Heuchera 'Firefly' arrived this afternoon from Bluestone.

Went to Big Lots today. They had rolls of 3' by 5' landscaping cloth for 5 bucks

Iris, you received your Bluestone order before me? Did you specify a ship date?

That landscape cloth does NOT work on our weeds down here

must not be GH grade then

my order from edible landscaping came.. 2 figs

Chicago hardy

Wow, nice looking!!

and English brown turkey.. this one was hardened off... the other greenhouse grown

Really nice sturdy stems on those.

AND I can blame Memory on those purchases ... after giving me figs off her tree last year before going to Bill's.. LOL

Yep, fresh figs are delish......

my neighbor across the street from my mom had a massive fig tree .. we could climb in it... but he would have freaked out.. figured it was worth a shot.. but I think I am going to container grow them.. in case I decide to bring them in for winter

Bluestone must be shipping my order is due early next week.

Karen, loved that penstemon, must have now!

I never should have come back - dropped easily $200 on eBay and then my Bluestone order arrived!

I had told them at Bluestone the april dates when we would be away. So they said they would ship on april 18. I didn't want plants sitting around with no one home.

Just got my e-mail from Bluestone, they shipped today

Not for me yet....Carrie, how easy it is to be tempted by plants.....I think I lost some per. geraniums in the new garden......I'd like to order some, but they may be late coming up.....

Just came home with Cercis Ruby Falls http://www.rarefindnursery.com/index.cfm/action/productdetail/product_id/5574.htm, Weigela Ghost http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/84902/, Black Mondo grass and Dwarf Golden Threadbranch Cypress http://www.greenwoodnursery.com/page.cfm/77798 for the berm

and hubby told me I am now cut off

Ohh ya ya ya we know its not true.

Randy would know better than to say something like that.. LOL

Ugo Allison

his favorite line to tell everyone is... "I can't get her mad... I fall asleep first"

:)

lol, sounds like something my hubby would say!

Love that cypress, Jen!

Nice, Jen. I would love the Ruby Falls cercis.

Bad girl, Carrie! Shame on you for spending so much! He, heeeee!!!!!!!!

Karen

well you could always repeat what he said......................:)

Nice haul Jen. All from one source or did you scatter your money?

Just made out the first iris order. 6 plants which includes 3 TBs which is heresy according to DH.

All from one nursery, I was very pleased with their selection and the helpfulness of the guy working there. The Cercis is around 6' tall.

Here's the actual plants...
I have to get a pic of the Cercis, it wasn't showing up in the pic, I need a solid backdrop
