No pictures, because by the time I was done planting and watering, I was too beat to haul wood chips and make it look nice. You’ll see something soon, I promise.

Mom and Dad are really avid rose gardeners now, with over 150 roses, most single specimens, on a lot that’s only 50 feet by 150 feet. As their fondness for the roses has grown, their dislike of all the other plants in their yard with different nutritional and watering needs has grown, as well. So I was visiting them yesterday, and drove home with most of the back of the van filled with stuff. We weren’t able to dig up the two pink spirea, because the roots were too dense and spread out, or else the van >would< have been completely full. I have oriental lilies, salvia, some roses that didn’t fit in with the theme, phlox, malva, and a few other things I don’t remember. It’ll be glorious.
