I thought I had a lot of pots waiting to be planted, then Alison came today and doubled my inventory. DOUBLED!!! I'm thrilled to the gills of course to have awesome new plants, but I do need it to rain or cool down, or something. Something. Good Luck. Let's advance and meet July 15th with grit. Weeds be dammed.

Our old house is from a time when many more people had help. I'm dreaming that some day a maid will magically appear to take up residence in the maid's room at the top of the back staircase but so far, nothing. So we live in a house that is filthy in the spring and fall. I'd rather be gardening. O.K. honestly, I'd rather be sitting in a comfortable lounge chair directing a team of Oompa Loompas to weed, cut down, spread muclh, carry the big pots up and down stairs, etc. I'd still dig and plant, prune, tie up stray branches, you know the really fun stuff. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-81305466517318957342013-05-07T16:20:05.217-07:002013-05-07T16:20:05.217-07:00Every year I swear that I won't get any more p...Every year I swear that I won't get any more plants that require any sort of semi annual migration and yet each year more and more find themselves in my collection. I've decided that the upstairs room where the brugmansias used to winter will become the winter home of all of the agaves. Lots of light and warmth and quite a distance from a water source. Glad that you tink the chaos is fun.

We have rooms upstairs that we never use and the plant starting business could take place in one of those but it would require my paying attention to watering whereas I'm in the kitchen every day so can keep a better eye on things. Making the stained glass was fun! You could do it too.

I love how the forget-me-nots are growing in between the pavers. It's beautiful. When I first started gardening, my goal was to have a "perfect" garden. Thankfully, my taste has changed (or I've figure out that will never happen) and I think a bit of imperfection is much more beautiful. Besides, buying plants is just so much fun!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-8293766273665336672013-05-07T12:18:18.046-07:002013-05-07T12:18:18.046-07:00Hehe, another humorous post!
