Pretty quiet here this week. The weather was a bit rainy, so not much going on outside at the first of the week, and miss doggie had some surgery on Thursday, so not much going on at the end of the week except doggie babysitting. I did work on some glass, and managed to finish one bowling ball and completely design and finish a second. I'll probably be grouting today and also doing a couple of stepping stones I have ready to go. (I need the molds for something else)
The only two new plants this week were a couple of daylilies and peonies from Costco. (gotta take advantage of that while I can) They have some great deals on stuff. It's pretty mainstream, but you can't beat a peony for less than $5. They'll look great in a couple of years. Last year, the daylilies that I got there bloomed in their first season, so.......
I also placed a couple of iris orders for later in the summer. I've decided that the iris "theme" will be blues/purples, blacks and whites, not a big fan of the pastels. You can't believe how many black irises there actually are, which makes my little black plant loving heart go pitter pat.
We also got the potato bin filled and planted, and I have onions and peas to plant now too. The daffs and hellebores are going crazy, and the peonies are growing by leaps and bounds, thanks to the nice weather. Lets hope we don't have a winter throwback now!
