felis_lupusLast day of dog-sitting. M comes home tonight, hopefully with a minimum of fuss and pain in the new knee.
Both dogs are sitting by the glass doors, content (for the moment) to watch the snow falling outside. It's been threatening since about noon, but has finally started coming down in earnest. Not supposed to amount to anything significant, and it's kinda pretty... Crows have been hanging out in the cherry tree outside the windows all day, black against the white-gray of the sky. They know how to be noticed.
Perennial orders are now set for 2010. Mostly. Things will change when the season actually starts, and there will be additions, and adjustments, and cancellations on both ends. Hoping our plug program will finally get off the ground and prove to be as lucrative and effective as I think it will be. Last fall we dug a LOT of the older clumps of plants, divided the heck out of them, and potted them up. Hopefully all those divisions make it through the winter and give us a nice start in the spring. THAT's the way to do perennials, none of this buying in finished stuff... not at what the most of the growers charge. And it's nice to play in the dirt, as well as being better for the plants themselves. Next step: only dig what we can sell in the next year. We're not going to need to order certain colors/varieties of daylily for a few years...
