Well, the hosta pen is just about done. I need to make another trip or two around the yard tomorrow to make sure I didn't forget anyone. Rough count... 350 hosta in pots, probably another 75 or so lancifolia in a mulch pile; 30-ish fern, 3 peony, 2 dozen forsythia, 1 rhododendron, 1 apricot, 2 honeysuckle, 3 wisteria, 1 campsis radicans, 10 crape myrtle (really small)... and a partridge in a pear tree
I need to set up the shelving in my bedroom so I can bring in the holiday cactus, orchids and coffee plants in. Not to mention the persian shield, the figs, alocasia/calocasia.
Still need to bag up the caladium bulbs, too.
I figure since the next 4-5 days are still in the 60s ... C R A P ! ! ! ! They've changed the forecast! It was supposed to be in the 60s all week. Now, there's this....
