I will say, gardening is tough. I'd done 8 hours the weekend before last, after buying $350 worth of perennials (mostly bulbs, some plants) and such at a local nursery. My arm muscles looked wicked awesome for a week after that. I believe I have quite a bit more time on my hands than you do though, so I was able to spare the time. I put in lilies and more lilies and more lilies, I think three different types. I already have orange lilies in the back, so I opted for some shorter red ones, and some taller pink/orange/etc colored ones this time for the front. I would have to agree about having orange lilies though. I also put in some lilies of the valley in a shady part with ferns. These are suppose to come up, but the ferns have not made a showing yet. The rest seem to have started coming up. I also planted gladiolas, which haven't started to emerge yet either. The blooming time is suppose to be scattered, and I have some survivalist mums that I hope make it through the summer to bloom again this fall. I had a hard time at first coming up with what I'd do, but once I set down and drew out the beds, I was able to lay out the look I wanted for the beds. Then I measured before I went to the store so I could calculate how many bulbs I'd need based on how far apart they needed to be planted. If you go on Breck's online, they'll tell you what zone you're in and what plants perenialize well in your area too. You may know all this already, but I thought it might make the planning easier. I also think that your planting season for spring goes into June, it'll say online, which surprised me, but it's true, so maybe you can still plant these things once you're done with your paper in June. Obviously, things that bloom in early summer may not be the best to plant then, but maybe the things that bloom in late summer and into fall would be good. The things that bloom in early spring I think get planted in the fall. Talk about waiting for your work to pay off! Now I'm just babbling...I should get to studying some more for my toxicology exam I have tomorrow. I love you! I hate being frustrated too...except I usually throw a tantrum, like tossing a binder across a room, haha! That never ends well. Good luck on your exam Saturday and on your research paper. Sounds just delectable...not, but I can't say much...I have finals in a week!AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07404464339313874505noreply@blogger.com
