New Purchases

At Sells we bought another Rozane Geranium for the other side of the roses, a Coral Bells called sweet tea which is an orange color and an Arizona Sun Gaillardia.   I wanted to plant the coral bells in front of the climbing hydrangea but discovered that whole area is our drainage system so we planted them on the hillside instead.   The Gaillardia we planted in the rocks by the moss phlox.  I hope they will survive the winter.  They are supposed to.  

At Lowes I got a small calalily called Pink Diamond.  It's small and likes shade, so I planted it in a pot and put it next to the impatiens. 

We also purchased all of our annuals for this year at Pinters and some at Meijers.  It was a huge job.  We got new things for nearly every pot.  I am trying tuberous begonias in the square planters on the deck.   And we picked up Martha Washington geraniums and a New Guinea.  I look forward to watching them bloom and grow.

We purchase all the garden plants and put them in yesterday.   We did 16 tomatoes, 12 peppers and 12 beans as well as zucchini and we hope this year the onions grow. 

Our irrigation system isn't working, though, and so we need desperately to get it fixed before we leave.
