chermoni chermoni Ballard Beaver! Dream Gardener Registered: 07/25/06 Posts: 3620 Loc: The emerald city	Note to self. Don't go trying to weed a garden that is severely overgrown with weeds on a full stomach. I'm taking a break for now but I think I managed to get at least halfway done with the weeding I had left to do. _________________________ Cheryl's Photobucket I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

tkhooper tkhooper TGH Valedictorian Garden Helper Registered: 03/09/05 Posts: 10899 Loc: triangle, virginia	Well I went over to a friends who is also moving and not taking her dinningroom table with her so I snagged it for my potting table. It's really to good for that purpose but no reason to let it go to the dump. Today I dig up the flowers that are in the front containers. And that is going to use up the rest of the pots I have. Tomorrow is the pack out. So today I've been cleaning all of my tupperware drawers so they are ready to go. Crossing my fingers that all of my flowers make it and like the new place. _________________________

He doesn't like digging around the garden So another big thing checked off my to-do list. Fingers crossed for you Tammy. _________________________ Tamara's Photos ~Can't wait for Fall~

They have the greatest Memorial Day sales. I got the jewlery screwdriver set and a wood carving set and the bill was under 10.00. I love that place. I'm going to miss it after I move. _________________________

tkhooper tkhooper TGH Valedictorian Garden Helper Registered: 03/09/05 Posts: 10899 Loc: triangle, virginia	Tamara, the day lilies or the asian or a combination of both? It's the asians that have a short bloom life right? I'm still trying to learn new things. I am determinted that I will have a four season garden. How I'm going to pull if off with very little money I don't know but that is the goal. I think I've stopped planning for a little while because I really need to get there and walk around. See if I'm right about how much sun the different areas are getting. I still have loads of stuff for sun and I'd really like to keep some of it. And I want the veggie garden all pretty much in one place but not by the road. That might be too tempting come harvest time. So I'm having to rethink things. _________________________

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 11422 Loc: Worden, Illinois	Thanks Criket, so very much-----and no they did not get Too dirty did they???---However it might be because they got smart in the end--they each got their DH's to dig out the holes for the flowers they were planting---smart ladies--- BTW--Em also fixed up my pavers that were out of line in my landscaping in the back of the house.--so she actually did MORE for me than Valarie.--not that i am keeping track. We are in 'town' (pop 1000)--but where my house is at used to be a field--so there are not a whole lot of people around me, and each home that is near me sites on about 1/2 acre each. _________________________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!!

Your property looks so nice, and it's so green, and neat!!! The new flowerbed is very nice, and I'm sure you will get a lot of enjoyment from the plants once they settle in and grow and flower for you! _________________________ ...... ... stated by a very wise friend...
