Just the raspberries left to get in the ground.

I finally took the covers off my seedlings so they have a few days to toughen up before I plant them in the ground too. The sunflowers and cosmos were so tall they'd been straining at the covers. I've got a lot of work ahead of me, but once it's all planted I know I'll be very glad I did it.

I'm sure all your work will be worth it Tink. It will look beautiful. I would love to work on my yard but I can't get the energy to get my house done inside.

Wow, Tink. You got some really good buys!!! They're going to look really nice in a year or two!!! I've thought about getting a butterfly bush. They are so pretty!

Lucky for me, Greg is just as nuts as I am.

On the way home from our granddaughters birthday party today, we had to drive past the place I got all the plants from yesterday. I pointed it out, so Greg swung in and we bought 30 deep purple and white iris rhizomes. Another beautiful plant that will come back and multiply year after year!

Our goal is to start beds of perennials that will grow on their own now so that when we get older and don't feel up to planting a lot of things each year, we'll still be able to enjoy a lawn filled with flowers. Because the lady selling the plants was so taken with Gregs willingness to help me put flowers in the yard, I got a nice bargain paying about 50 cents each. She said he reminded her of her deceased husband who she said was a "Real Gem" too. LOL

I think I'd better put a stop to my plant buying for this year though, 'cause once I get all my seedlings planted, there will be 500- 600 flowering plants growing.
