weekend
today is my saturday and so my gardening extravaganza begins! i'll begin by:
* moving 2 holly shrubs.
* then i'll move 3 grasses into the hollies' old spot.
* then i'll plant 3 junipers where the grasses were.
i acknowledge, of course, that any of the hollies or grasses may not make it. this is a terrible time to transplant grasses, so if they don't make it, then i buy new ones. :) as for the hollies, they've already gone through one transplant. my dad and i dug them up from my parents' yard 2 years ago and i planted them in my yard. after 2 years and 3 blizzards, they just started to take off this spring/summer. and now i'm going to dig them up again. ummmm...., yeah. if those don't make it, i'll be sad b/c they're from my parents' yard, but i'll take the opportunity to plant something else there. the garden is always a work in progress after all. ;)
assuming i get all of that done today, then tomorrow begins the bulb planting! i had 1000 tulip bulbs delivered last week that are all going in one planting bed along the length of my side yard, tucked around the trees, shrubs, and perennials. it should look spectacular next spring! can't wait!
i'll post pictures later.
aside from the gardening extravaganza, i'm paying (literally) a visit to my primary care doctor today about the cough and post-nasal drip i've had for 4 weeks. i also audition the first person for so you think you can cut hair! his name is eric and from what i've read he's perfected the bob. here's hoping!
