Fall planting

My plants arrived today. As every year, I ordered them at a time when I thought I'd have plenty of free time in the fall to plant them. Bleah.

This afternoon, I planted:

2 Lilacs
1 Magnolia
6 Rose of Sharon
(which are, collectively, the Hedge Row of Eventual Spa Hiding)

2 Butterfly Bushes

Yet to go: 50 periwinkle andenough bulbs to make me exclaim "Where in the hell did I think I was going to put all these?"

It'll be beautiful when it's done. It'll be beautiful when it's done. It'll be beautiful when it's done. If it ever gets done, it'll be beautiful.

When I first bought my house, my grandparents were building an addition at their house and I was encouraged by everyone to take flowers from them for my yard (despite my claims that I had no where to put things yet).

Just put them somewhere! was the general reply I got.

So I dug a flower bed in the middle of my yard, thinking I would get things moved into proper places somewhat quickly.

7 years later I'm still trying to figure out what to do with all of it. lol
