Several really great things happened today (besides the beautiful weather). My plants came from direct gardening and I started my hedge cuttings.
Okay so first of all, my plants finally came. I didn't get any type of shipping notice it just said "Please allow 1-2 weeks for processing then it will be shipped according to availability and proper planting time for your area" Pretty vague, right? So when they arrived today needless to say I was kinda surprised.
I received 6 rose of Sharon's (for hedge) which is in the Hibiscus family.
50 glads
1 fairy pink cushion rose,
2 hydrangea trees (still not sure how to do this).
Plus bonus plants, 4 flowering shamrock bulbs,
Although this was free I have my reservations with anything that is even
remotely like a weed. Clover, for example.
3 peacock orchid bulbs??? It says exotic (idk??)
And to make things even better I actually got everything, but the bulbs planted. Of course I also planted a Queen Elizabeth rose and I have a candy stripe rose soaking so it can be planted tomorrow. Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?!
I did start my hedge cuttings, but that post will have to wait til another day. I am pooped!
Good Night and Happy Easter!
