...finally...some planting gets done...

I've had the cyclamen so long...
the sunlight on the table has faded the red ones...
nothing was getting stressed...
but it was time...

I rescued the poor maranatha plant[cathedral windows]...
from being cat salad bar...
and trimmed off the munched-on leaves...
leaving this...



after re-potting it in a black pot I "unearthed"...
while cleaning up around the dogwood tree...
and adding the 4 other 4" specimens...
I had this...



I'll let it set "out" a few days...
then bring it in...
if I spray Safers Insecticidal Soap[non-toxic]
on the leaves & let them dry...
that should cat & dog proof them...



I also need to put these in a cool dark place...
until I can plant them...
15 assorted Daffodils...
most of the ones I'd planted don't come up anymore...

so you ALL remember this... right ?



the reappearing[& increasing...] "table of plants that need planting"...



well... a "dent" has been made...



the purple allyssum have joined the snapdragons...



in the planter boxes by the garage...
and the cyclamen have been put in place...



only a slight miscalculation on the size of the white ones...



where yesterday, there were tons o'mums & ferns...

today...



there are none !

most of the ferns have been rearranged on the table...
for better fern welfare...

the 3 maidenhair were planted and are on the fern table...

and where did all the mums go ?









along with the white allyssum...


BTW...

getting things done....a good feeling...

spending time in the garden w/Molly...a very good feeling...

figuring out HOW to organize...
the order of the upload of these pictures...
so that I could outsmart @#$%^Blogger...
and not have to re-arrange ALL of them...

PRICELESS....

...thanks...

I am, however, still "persona non grata" to Blogger on your blog...
[they will NOT give me a "word verification" WORD...
then laugh at me because I can't read minds...

I'm not sure WHY Blogger is treating just ME this way...

do you think it was...
"something I said" ?
[derisive snort, rolls eyes,...] :\
