I would say, no one parks in my drive way but me!
How rude to take up your space. Ugh is right.

Can you just push it into the street??

Well okay, maybe you can't do that but.....really, of
all the nerve.

I would be cranky as well.

Yeah, the weather in MA typically is cold and rainy in April, followed by monsoon season in May, with a few teaser days in there. I've had beautifully WS tiny poppies washed down the slope out of my garden, and have learned to cool my jets in the planting out department. It usually means from mid-May on I'm planting out like a crazy lady.

It is vey similar to:

There was a tree

OK OK Stop watching Barney!! HEEHEE. I know how you feel I finally have a new bed to plant my babies but, it keeps raining every third day so, the dirt is staying to muddy. And on top of that they are forecasting our 70's weather to drop down in the 30's and 27 or so. This is April and I live in Louisiana! What the #$%^? Next week I'm planting even if I have to do it under an umbrella with a coat on.LOL

I'm waiting for the last frost. This week we may get some icy precipitation. I've got annuals straining at the seams trying to get some more leg room. By Easter, I should be able to plant everything out. Now, I just have to find a day off. Other than that, I'm just watering watering watering.

The wind is terrible here today too! Couldn't get much done in the garden at all!
But it is so much better than it was a month ago. Things are sprouting! There is hope!

Prof-you won't miss your pond? Wish I had a pond! To dip my toes into in July, might be nice. Between statues of David, St. Francis and What's-His-Name, the green-goat man , I guess you've got enough stuff. I can see wanting more flowers and less things.
Hope tomorrow is better for you

anew: I have another pond--believe me, one is enough to maintain. The one that I'm filling in will be planted with my WS babies and is adjacent to the "saved" pond.

Prof

Hey, Another northern Delawarean here. Today is expected to be much better wind wise. I think today the lawn gets it's first cut. Sam Adams? Too sophisticated for my taste. Make mine a Labatt's Blue...

Oh Prof! I don't know why no one has thought of this before! Forget about your little goldies...

You've got the mulch, you need a raised bed, your friend has taken advantage of you long enough! Besides, who knows how long it will take hin to find the dang keys! Pick up a shovel and fill that boat! Dude! You have the perfect bed right there in the driveway!

Nancy,

As I was reading the posts, I was wondering when someone was going to recognize the ready-made planter that said friend was kind enough to provide! You missed pointing out the advantages that it is a movable planter, though, and since we don't need the friend to "find" said keys (I suspect they were never really "lost" in the first place--just too lazy to do the right thing), if the location is not ideal, you can put it right next to the back-filled pond. It'll be a nice accessory: have water, have boat, have garden. Sounds like heaven to me!

Here's some inspiration for planting out that boat. See how nice it can look in one of your ponds!! A bit of topiary... a little ivy... does your friend have another boat he needs parked?

yes, I am way behind. Leak somewhere in the waterfall/stream, so had to have the people out to see if they could fix it. didn't dare plant out because I knew they would trample my seedlings. they were stalled because of rain. they came out and MIGHT have it fixed, but supposed to be 28 degrees on Tues nite. wanted to put poppies all over, and they really should already be out. it is aggravating.
maybe next year I will get stuff done on time.

Poppies can take 28 degrees - at least my California Poppies have survived as low as low 20s (planted out...)

Bad wind here on Saturday, it took down my neighbors 80 ft pine tree and clipped my house leaving us with alot of damage, ripped the electric box right out of the house and the cable. I made good use of the day Sunday(no TV or internet) and sowed another 58 containers (nervous energy)
