Cripes all mighty, I'm in debt up to my eyeballs with my Home Depot card! LOL!
I was on the totally opposite side of town on the west side of Denver yesterday (Saturday) and ended up eating a kinda heavy dinner. So, DH & I went to Home Depot to walk it off. Great excuse to shop, huh.
Anyways, of course I park on the Garden side and, what do I spy? Roses that are set out and practically untouched by shoppers hands! Yay for me!
So another 7 Sterling Silvers, a Lagerfeld (can tell the difference, but barely), a magnificent Perfect Moment, a Cherish (smells WONDERFUL), a weirdo rose that, in the same bucket, is labeled "Intrigue" but has a rose that I swear is Wild Blue Yonder on one side and another rose I swear is another Cherish (I put the two buckets side by side and that's what I came up with). Each of these were the $9.98 price! Plus, in the $22.99 buckets (5gal) was a very very handsome Cinco de Mayo that was just oozing with buds but not in full bloom. OMG, talk about smelling up the car! Wow! Plus, the lady didn't ring me up right.. she rang up all 12 buckets as the $9.98 even though the $22 was right in front of her. I didn't hide it, I promise!
So, I spent almost all of today pulling weeds, readying my "pond area", and burying more roses! I ended up putting in the ground today:
Ch-Ching!
Gingersnap
3 Sterling Silvers
Cinco de Mayo
Daddy's Little Girl
Ruby Ruby
Julia Child
Ebb Tide
Perfume Delight
Double Delight
That's on top of the ones I put in yesterday afternoon. So, this weekend, I've put in over 20 roses. And have about another, oh.. 6? more to go in pots. Plus, with some of the trimmings I took off the bushes after I plopped 'em in the ground, I put that "Take Root" hormone stuff & shoved 'em in small pots. If they take, awesome! If not, well, it's not like I didn't try. Oh, and I also put in some perennials in my front flower bed (2 blue delphiniums, 2 red salvias, 2 Basket of Golds), 5 very dried daylilies (let's see if they take hold), weeded a section about 25'x14' with evil long-assed roots on each weed (wild clover), installed new weedblock fiber and poured 10 bags of mulch down... I just need a great spot to put the Cherish (nice pink rose.. I think that's going to be my only really pink other than Memorial Day) and Peace.
and it's supposed to snow 1-3" tonight.
GAH!!!
