Ten bags, Mike? You're a dynamo!
Sue, I'm so glad Cressida made it. It was such a puny little thing. I ordered a grafted bare-root one from GVR this year and it just arrived last week, but I'm fearing the worst: GVR got it from Hortico and it looks suspiciously thorny, just like that blasted white rugosa they send whenever you ask for something the slightest bit elusive.
Today I finally planted the rest of the ranunculus and other plants I bought when I was shopping with you and when Barbara and I went to Friedman's and Ace. I also installed the Target peacock in a place of honor under the fir tree. I can't take a photo of it yet because it's standing in front of some drastically pruned ferns. They look pretty awful, but they'll look great in a few weeks.
