When they beat the Mets in the series?
What have you ordered for 2009 - Part7
A Bill Buckner shirt is fine.
Funny - it is a Manny shirt that is now lowered to yard work attire which means a short life span.
That explains how you do all that work - performance enhancing drugs are infused in the shirt.
Not Buckner's fault. Manager had been taking him out bottom of the 9th since he could not bend over. Did not do so that last game, so lost it.
True. I understand he wanted him in there as a favor to the veteran. Usually was taken out for defense. He was a very good player. Too bad he is stained forever.
But in a good way for Mets fans---my stepdaughter & hubby will be at tomorrow's game. Bill----very nice trees--great size. Patti----the photos were great---loved the Indian Summer tulips. I received my order from Seneca Hills today---everything looks nice----hepatica, corydalis, & agapanthus.
Thanks Robindog, I agree, great trees Wha.
I got a box from Ensata that I had sort of forgotten about from a March 17th order. I now have to get them entered in my journal and make tags. They will be quick to plant. 13 sibs and 1 ensata. Very pleased with the rhizomes. Patti
Sound nice---photos when they bloom, Louise!
Fedco had a seed and Tree sale today. DD bought Brian and I a $50.00 gift cert. for our Anniversary Thursday.....we got:
Plum Trees 2 for $22.00
Flowering Quince $12.00

That's it? Are you feeling ok?
I finally placed an order with Avant just now.
Viburnum carlesi 'Diane' http://www.avantgardensne.com/catalog/product.cgi/4833/P1/default/N/0
Plumbago auriculata 'Imperial Blue' http://www.avantgardensne.com/catalog/product.cgi/3466/P1/default/N/0

I have no idea what I am going to grow the Humulus on - so I better figure it out quick! :)
I still would like to place an order with Lazy SS Farm, maybe that will be my b-day gift to myself. ; )

I was looking at the plant files to see if there were any good inspiring pics and look what I found http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/56313/
Now I remember that picture is why I wanted it! Victor I want mine to look just like that! How do I do it?
Too funny, Victor is always an inspiration.
Meredith, I love that Viburnum.
I can't wait to smell it! I wonder if it will still be in bloom when I get it. Probably not, but a girl can hope. : )
I'm trying very hard to be conservative this year. All I have are 7 roses. I was so overwhelmed last year. I still have plants I grew from seed out on the patio. Would you believe some of them survived still in their wintersowing baggies? so I do have some new perennials to plant if you look at it that way LOL I may buy a few things as the season goes on, but this is a maintenance year.
I have some penstemon that overwintered in 4" containers... I am shocked I see some movement on those as well... Michele doesn't like to plant ity bity plants... so I wanted to hold on to them for her for this year... left a few out and brought a few in... the ones outside might have done better
I am amazed your seedlings survived in the baggies though
Coleus (Tabasco) not planted as yet. In another week it may be safe.
I have annuals to plant---coleus, nicotiana, marigolds---I'm searching for some angelwing begonias.
I get so bonkers in winter I start ordering and forget what I ordered and double order and tripple order some items.I was out of work with back trouble and ups,fed ex and us post kept coming and I was praying it would end as I ran out of empty spots to plant.
LOL, gamekeeper on the double and triple ordering!!! Haven't done that yet, but I can see the day coming...
Allison, I was at Lowe's just this past Saturday and got one of those Lollipop Gerberas there, the one called Mango. I had a hard time choosing just one! I wanted one of each!
I planted a Queen Victoria Louise poppy last year that was coming back earlier in the spring, and for some odd reason it just up and died. What a disappointment. This year I have wintersown some Coral Reef poppies, so we will see how they do. They have sprouted and are doing well so far, but I have not planted them in the garden yet. Still too small, and won't bloom till next year at any rate.
Cute jammies, Celeste!
Bill, you'll love that Euphorbia 'Bonfire'. Really nice plant. Here's a pic of it.
Karen
Closer shot....
You know, Patti, I like the Picasa Web albums slideshows much better than the photobucket ones, which show the pictures too small. I think I will switch.
Great JM's, Bill! I will have to get some from David. Great prices for what you get.
Allison, you did behave. What fun is that? Pretty colors on the both of them.
That humulus is gorgeous, Meredith! I want one, too, but don't know where I'd put it, either.
Karen
the two lollipops I picked up were mago & coconut ... I will say this I cut one of the coconuts on sunday morning for the table... still looking great in the vase
i recieved my shipping charges for the 5 jm from davidsans - only $48 - he may have given me a break on the price though.
picked up the incrediball hydrangea yesterday and a couple vibs
Not bad for shipping large trees---I stopped at the nursery to pick up my blue angelonia---they saved pink for me instead---all the blues were gone--not sure if someone paid them more for the blues! Anyway, I also bought a hardy oxalis---didn't know there were any---and some plants for containers---Persian Shield, bacopa, trailing petunias, & million bells.
One of the 2 coleus has died. My fault, I was careless in trying to get it hardened off.
Oh, sad about the coleus, Iris. I have a bunch coming soon. I will have to be careful about hardening them off.
Karen
well i stopped at lowes yesterday to wander - say they had vib mohican $14.95 it was about 2 ft tall - the one i got from lazy s&s was about 6" tall - it now has a companion - they also had dwarf mound blue spruce that i'd been looking for - that also found it way to my truck
then i stopped at costco - they had 4 ft. tall viridis and inada shirade jm's with great form - i did NOT bring these home - already have them although inada shirade has a better form than the one i'm training right now.
You have to watch that "wandering" Bill

The tropicals are staying inside near the grow lights until this wacky weather straightens out!
Other than that, most of the work is done :-)
