Work party in Q

I traded with KathyAnn a few years ago. She's a nice lady. I see that she has Pink lily of the valley listed and also Asarum canadense. I dmailed her to see if she still has them.

That's a good design tills.

Thank you Tilly, I would love to have the cornflowers ^_^

I had a very wonderful visitor today at work, I have been dying to meet her and we traded some plants, and visited while she roamed Big Lots, she had never been in one before. We where having a good time, until I got called back to duty. Shes bringing the truck tomorrow. LOL
It was are own, Carla.

And not only that I got home to a nice package, full of more plants, Wow Carla you must of brought the fairy dust with you.

Willow, you can have what evers left, and I still have more poping up, but some are keepers, like where they popped.

Thanks Pix, I want it darker. can't find anything, but I like the design.
^_^

Oh, I can just imagine the two of you at Big Lots!!! How lovely!

and count me in too on the design, I think it will be a knock out!

Hi Tills,
I had a blast with yesterday at Big Lots...then the dreaded overhead speaker called you back to work. I will be back and had hoped to be there today but my muscle (DH) had to work today so we will be there tomorrow with a truck!...lol
Sent you a d-mail and am going outside right now to dig, see you tomorrow and thanks so much for the bamboo and the columbine!
See you soon,
Carla

Tills, have you seen this little tool shed at Big Lots:
https://www.biglots.com/LawnGarden/item.aspx?cid=23&scid=68&iid=3150

That's such a good price. Do you know if it is made of actual wood, or is it pressed wood, or a wood-looking product? Wondered if you had seen it.
They also have some floating solar orbs for the pond for 6$. I may have to go get a couple of those. I've been wanting some for a long time.

Pix I have not seen it yet, or my store didnt get it. I will check the inventory of all stores and see who might have it.
We do have the Sol. balls.

My Christmas present has finally arrived, and a little before by B-day. lol
I am now the proud owner of a Dell laptop. Been playing with it, Now I can keep up with alot of things, instead of writing them down, then put them on the computer or lose them.
Happy Happy
^_^

Which one did you get? I have a dell laptop too! They are a lot of fun!

AAAAAA MMMMM ?
I have no idea at this point, I look at it and it just says Dell, I havent got into all the papers yet, going to wait till I have more time to really play.
The only thing on the bottom is a Whole lotta numbers.

Congrats on your new partner in grime - hope it knows how to find planting instructions!!

Gonna be fun LOL

How about this as a contrast to the purple trailer, all nature growen. sure would look better than that white. LOL

With a little help From Carla, Susy, And Catgal. plus a plant from Heidis. The first half barrle has been filled. Hope it works out right, first try at container gardening.

Side shot
Ingredients are
Campulea (Carla)
Jacobs Ladder 'purple rain' ( susy)
Snow in summer (Carla)
The grass, can't find the name now but have it somewhere (catgal77)
And the one I got at Heidis Paeonia lacliflora.

Tills - looks very nice indeed. May I suggest that you make a little support for the Paeonia - they have a tendency to get a bit top heavy in blossom and may flop on the surrounding plants. If you make a twiggy or a wire support, the leaves will grow through it and cover it up and the under planting won't get covered up.

Have you planted up the little cart in the background too? What's in it?

No I haven't planted anything in it, I don't want to put soil in it, might hurt it LOL I just put pot all as a holding area, then I can always change it at anytime ^_^
Got your dmail, You do got allot going on, thought your new schedule was going to be better, sounds the opposite.
And yes just love the spring, we are finally geting a little warmer, and the weeds have run amuck can't keep up with them
Hugs
Tills

You're way ahead of me, Tills. I haven't even begun to consider the containers yet. They look like heck. Yours is going to be great!

I think using potted plants in a container is a great idea - they container can be very seasonal, changing all the time. You can even do a christmas display!

I am sad to say, I need to change my dates for this, My DH and I have talk about it, and I have talked to a few of you about it also. I think the way this weather has been, I can not trust it. plus $$$$

So I am changing it to June 29th or 30th or July 5th or 6th my next Vac.

Are 20th Ann. is on the July 3rd.

Let me know which dates work.

I will Dmail Rach to take it off the calender.

Right now, June 29 works for me but we have not planned our vacation yet. I don't know when that will be.

I'd go for June 29th or July 6th. The 30th is my son's birthday, and the day right after Independence Day is terrible driving and bad for the ferries. Also, the doggie will still be staying close to my side in fear of the dreaded fireworks that continue on past when they should.

The 29th works for me. I'll be in Seabeck early in the morning and your place is right on my way home. Couldn't be there before 10 or 10:30 though...

So far 3 for the 29th a possable date.

Are you still considering doing it?

Yes I really want to try it this year.
I have enough time to figure out what would be the best time for all who still want to join in. and make some plans.
I get 4 weeks this year. Yay ^_^

I can just about always do June 28 or 29, July 1, 2, 6 if you happen to choose that time of year.

I was thinking that weekend or there abouts. The weather should be good (I hope) I always take that week off as its are Ann. and gives me time to get it ready. and if you want have room for camping, now that all the junk cars are gone. only 2 left the ground was to soft for them to get them out. Maybe by then they will be go too. I Hope.
Got to set up a planner. LOL
