My goodness Sue,
Do you get all that work done in one day?
Very productive.
Gus the landscaper will plant 4 more tall plants on Friday. Not sure what they are but probably oleander. They are fast growers, and spread quickly
15 gallon trees are starting to grow.
I planted petunias in pots, a rainbow of color.
With so many plants you could start a nursery.

@funcountess Oh my, no - all that digging and hauling took a couple of days, about 8 hours I would guess. The digging and transplanting will take 3-4 days, longer if I have to dodge raindrops. I am thankful for my big gardens and my "sewing cave" this summer - it helps me forget I am confined.

@jimhd I hope the parts fix your mower - I understand the frustration of not being able to get around from years of hobbling on my old hips - so grateful the new ones work!
I also raise and donate plants for a fund raiser plant sale every year - usually several hundred perennials and natives. The cancellation this year is why I have such an abundance to share. Later this summer, I will be dividing some, potting them in plastic greenhouse pots, and sinking them into the ground to overwinter. Those will go to the sale next spring. Scoping out the gardens right now to be sure to leave places for those babies.
Sue
