CLOSED: Let's Decorate The Garden Swap

(Debra) Derby, KS(Zone 6a)

good for you, kat! I am going over to a co worker's after work tonight , my car is loaded with plants for her new place. My car looks like a rolling greenhouse right now, I will have to get them all inside when it gets hot, tho. right now it is still cool and it just sprinkled a bit. I am going to make tags for her stuff while I am sending out emails and calling customers. So far , I am very very Bored, here today.

Sounds like your going to be busy helping your friend with all her new plants!

(Debra) Derby, KS(Zone 6a)

Oh I am just going to unload, answer her questions and get on home. I have Rose's 34th birthday dinner tomorrow, and she is wanting buffalo hot wings, and I am using the Buffalo recipe from Joe's mom up in Buffalo, where the originals came from. She ( Rose) is on weight watchers,. so I told her to "save" some points, and we are mashing caulifower instead of potatoes, and having lots of "free" veges for her. Joanna is making her a weight watchers recipe birthday cake. Her birthday is actually the 11th, but she will be down in Texas with her Aunt Paula, as Paulas' birthday is the 14th, they will have blast . My Birthday present to her was the plane ticket.

Awe, sounds like it will be a nice party, and I know she will love going to Texas to visit her friend.

Debra i love sharing plants with people for sure. I have done it several times over theyeas too. Sounds like a yummy dinner too. I have never done the mashed cauliflower but want to try it. Hope you had a wonderful day after work that is. My son leaves Texas today. He has been in the Army for 8 years and is now getting out of the Army. He seems really nervous for sure. But he will do great. He is actually going to join the National Guard in Kentucky. So he will be moving there in a couple months. So he will be busy looking for a job and all that fun stuff. Its way closer than Texas. So good for him. Have a great day all.

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Don't be surprised if he rejoins the army. A lot of men think they did 8 years and that is enough, and they end up going back in.

(Debra) Derby, KS(Zone 6a)

I ended up staying at her house for an hour and a half taking about stuff, ( Me mostly listening)
it is a nice home in a "HOA" and she is very smart to buy one like that at her age. Anyhoo, now she is giving me ideas on landscaping, her yards are like a blank canvass. This am she told me she got everything planted except for the peony roots, she needs to figure a spot for them.

The Pre-Birthday Party was great I bet I cooked a hundred buffalo wings, the cake was wonderful will post pic of it later. The mashed cauliflower was devoured by a couple men before we told them it was cauliflower, so you know it was good.
Easy, that is for sure, she seasons hers with salt and pepper.


Some guys love the service it makes them feel useful and you can't fight that.

Received your package today, my son came and picked me up from work and wanted to know what I had ordered. A very nice surprise after working 12 hours. Just wanted to say thank you and I love, love, love them both.

She sent me a Bird Plant Pick, Teal beautiful and a solar flower that will stand almost 35 inches with the pole.

How did you know that I am adding more solar items to my garden? LOL
