Divide & dig



Category: daily chores | Posted: Wed Apr 19, 2006 2:23 pm

Finally, a day to get outside with no other commitments! My favorite kind of day......... Have a load of laundry ready to hang on my brand new clothesline too.

I have a couple buckets and several boxes full of plants from my moms..........all sitting in the shade, waiting to see where they get to live here at the new place. I've only got a smallish place cleared that will work for her offerings.........as she has mostly shade & I have mostly full sun. But, I should end up with a garden by this afternoon, instead of a patch of dirt!

Mostly native things........oregon grape, holly, a couple firs, and then a bucket full of items from her rockery garden. Free plants, my absolute favorite.

Mom shared a story about her mom........I told her thank you for the plants as I was leaving & she said her mom said you never say thank you for plants from someone. Grandma said that plants you sneak a slip from will grow better!! Who knew my Grandma was such a sneaky lady?? :) She did have a way with flower gardens! (maybe that's because she "lifted" all her starts?)

Off to my day........enjoying a balmy 43 degrees already at 7AM, supposed to get to 61 today!! Good gardening to everyone!

My grandmother always said that about plants too!! The way I was raised it is ill-mannered not to say thank you, so I always say I appreciate them!! I don't know if that makes it better but it makes me feel better!! LOL! I also like free plants, they are the best kind!!!
