Sis's Secret Garden

No More Room in the Trunk

While Bud was at kung fu with Mama this morning (Sis is taking a break from kung fu right now), Sis and I decided to do some gardening.  But the day lilies we'd been saving had rotted in their box (the bulbs must have grown and then rotted), very disappointing.

So we headed to a local store with plants and . . . well, do all gardeners buy more than they can or should plant?  Sis's eyes were so big--I think we looked at every pink blossom in the whole place.  And came home with half of them, plus some yellow day lilies and a pot of parsley.

She carefully cleared debris and dug holes, broke up the root ball and patted out air pockets, and watered it all.  And I just stood by and advised, or commented, since I don't think I know enough about gardening to advise.  I mean, like how much should you water a newly planted plant?  What is soaked?  How can you tell?  I just guess.

It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow and Monday so the water question isn't pressing . . . and the flowers will look beautiful.
