This is the biggest plant order I've ever made lol! I don't know what I was thinking last spring but I've quickly realized I need to get planting!

I ordered from The Shady Spot: I'll generalize and say about two each....
Low Ho Silver
Silent Screen Star
Magnificent Masterpiece
Golden Snitch
Careless whisper
Barbara Jean
and Absoulute treasure

With bonuses of: Cabarte Park, Calamity Carol and Wicked Good

I'm so excited......and extremely tired lol I should know betterI work in a nursery and I'm trying to stay on top of my raised bed veg gardens and my front flower beds not to mention the fruit trees and 50ish some roses.... many in pots Rolling my eyes. no idea where these are going to go other than I'll be extending the flower beds.

Thank You! all for your enthuziasum, it's catching!
Lol, Lilli My lawn is in trouble, between roses and now the irises, it's literally losing ground.
Robin you are so right I managed to get most of them tucked in before work this morning... didn't think that was going to happen.
Richard You're a funny guy lol.... as for doing it right the first time I hope you don't mean being organized in anyway lol. My grarden is a hodgepodge of plants at the moment and thes irises will be playing musical chairs before long, once I figure out where they go.

I hope I made good decisions on the orders I'm kinda shooting in the dark just ordering by picture and height which usually doesn't work out all that well in the rose world sooo crossing fingers

Cheers everyone Smiling

Just remember lawn is over rated! Hilarious!

For doing it right, its just the few basic eules, like how much water, etc. As for everything else its up to the planter. Right now mine is in kinda a dis aray due to moving and waiting to close escrow.so, what can we do.

Movings exciting! Are you still in the Joshua Tree area? I did my MOS training in 29 palms. I'd jump around on the bus out in desert Springs. Never managed to go rock climbing though. Sighing!

Wow Rebekah, not to many people know of 29 palms. Most don't even know of the area, but its becoming more well know though, esp for rock climbing.

Thanks Mika, A while back Absoulute Treasure was recommended to me on the forum along with some other blues I've been acquiring....... I also wanted to add white and I read Low ho silver is a vigorous, I think rebloomer. The rest though are strictly based on height and pictures...lol I had to pair down my list quite a bit there were so many I'd like to try Smiling
