I thought you were going to say you got the tags mixed up ... lol. But I know the feeling of accomplishment. Congratulations! We want to see pictures when they bloom.

Now I have a confession to make. I redid the drip irrigation in the center bed about six months ago and now after adding mulch and straightening the rocks I can't find the end to hook it up to the hose. Oh well .....

roselee...too funny. I have no irrigation, but have invested in soaker hoses that I will lay out once everything is planted.

Good for you Misti!!! I hope to have all my plant swap plants and the flats of annuals I purchased in the ground by the end of the upcoming weekend!

I take it you didn't run into any more snakes while you got all those plants put out. :)

Roselee - funny! I thought it was just people like me that did stuff like that.

Misti - when I moved to Dallas I brought about 50 favorites from San Antonio and potted them up in compost. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would take me two years to get them in the ground. Lost a few, but most did just fine.

melvalena - nope no snakes yet...mostly in june/ july.
I will be calling on local GW's to take free plants soon as I am running out of room!

robyn, so what interesting plants did you bring from San Antonio? Those day lillies stunk to high heavens from being in a non draining container. With my luck they will probly die now that they have drainage...lol

I think I woke up in the twilight zone this morning. I posted on this thread yesterday..........second response right after Roselee...........now that post is gone. Anyone else have this happen??? Did anyone else see it before it disappeared???
Anyway Misti, I just thought you had been a busy, busy girl yesterday..........way to go !!!

I found a bag of amaryllis and mystery bulbs all dried up in a paper bag. I might just plant them and see what happens, otherwise they'll be compost :-)

Roselee, too funny!

Carrie, I don't remember seeing your post yesterday but I have slept since then.

Carrie, I don't remember seeing your post either.

Speaking of amarillis bulbs I 'lost' a whole five gallon bucket full of red and white stripped amarillis bulbs while in the midst of a garden redo a couple of years ago. I may have needed the bucket and dumped them in a big pot and then planted over them. Oh well ...

I got my start when I planted quite a few for my boss and his wife. Those tiny pieces that just did not look like they would do well ended up in some pots that became beautiful plants in a couple years. I do enjoy them but they are thirsty plants.
