I had a day off work today and I spent it doing gardening..worked at it from about 9 am until ten till 9 tonight,only stopped for a 20 min lunch, and man O man am I beat tonight..but it is a rewarding beat....I got soooooooo much done.... planted some of my winter sown seeds, moved a small fence, hung hooks in my new shade house, pulled lots of weeds, planted some shrubs. Potted and planted lots. A local landscaper pulled up ranks and closed shop here and headed to Texas to start over due to bad economy here. His loss, my gain. I got 28 shrubs in two or three gallon pots, plus 3, 3 gallon pots of stellas, two, 3 gallon grasses and two, two gallon grasses. In the 28 shrubs I got 15 knockout roses. Two Miss Kim lilacs, 2 spirea, one golden, 2 burning bushes, a cute little yellow everygreen and a few more I cant remember offhand. But rambling aside..about half are planted now. A small new bed put in...a darn good gardens day done...now..if I can only limp to bed..

Holy crap, why I can't I find a plant sale like that?

Sounds like you had an amazing day; I'm pretty sure I would fall over halfway through a day like that!

thanks guys. I will post some pictures as soon as we get the last of it planted. I am not going to plant this weekend tho, have company for the weekend for Mothers Day. But by next weekend, I hope to have the remainder in the ground. I have several things to take pictures of when I am done. We are about 90 percent done with a "shade house" that we built out of pallets with a potting bench in it. All thats left is the roof panels but we need a day with no wind to get them home with no broken pieces cuz they are 12 foot long. I have been using the potting bench like crazy already..I am in love with it! I put in a new bed last fall also and it is flourishing, I did not take or post pictures last fall, but I will do so in the next week or two with the other stuff. Thanks for all the great comments and the inspiration this places provides. Love reading posts and looking at the pictures you post.
