I picked a good day for planting EEK !!

[Gina]

I hope you planted tonight like Judy mentioned it is going to be hot through Sat... a scorcher...

we'll it took me amost 3 hours of digging, soil, and mulching but got most of it done, i ran out of mulch and need two more flowers to complete it, going back to Lowes and see if they have anything orange color, the japanses maples look so nice i spaced them out and put knock out roses in between them, but i hope i dug the hole big enough they said on the direction to dig the hole five times bigger. i tryed to dig it as big as i could but that ground was so hard. so i hope they live!
i couldn't believe how expensive they were and i got them 20% off and they were still 60.00 each.. WOW...
Going to look at some dwarf daylilies hopefully they have a nice orange color, running up at lunch time.

ps. it was about 100 degrees when i was planting i was sweating my butt off, so hot.... but it needed done. even one of my neighbors came over and said how nice it looked, made me feel good, now hopefully i don't kill anything, not the greatest with plants, i watered them again this morning before i came to work and i'll water them again tonight, going to do that for awhile until they get use to be in that soil... i got some good garden soil that i planted them in so hopefully they take.

Sounds great Haley! It's amazing what some landscaping can do for a home!
We planted a bunch of trees last year and the year before, and you're right, they need to be watered thoroughly every day for the first year at least to get established.
We planted, evergreens, Oak, maple, and weeping willows. So far they're all doing well.

Tink i love maple trees and wheeping willows, i'm trying to find a wheeping willow tree but lowes is out of them until fall, and i also like maple trees but my yard is so small. don't have room for one. i need a couple of more flowers and some mulch and i'll be done until lowes or a nursery around my area get a wheeping willow tree in. it does look nice, so glad its almost done.... it took 5 years, but there was alot of inside work that needed to be done first...

It sounds wonderful, hope you take pics! The price of flowers and bushes is unbelievalbe. My son just did his Eagle Scout project which was building a butterfly garden. He collected $500 to purchase plants and we still put money to it. He couldn't believe what everything cost.
