Hopefully, I Learn from My Mistakes

Jury is still out on that.  I'm the slow one in the family.  However, as people pointed out in a previous post where we planted impatiens along the edge of the lawn, impatiens like shade.  Something that spot only received at, well, night.

We dug up the twelve impatiens we planted a couple of weeks ago and moved them to the front walkway. This spot gets early morning sun and is in the shade by 10 or 11 in the morning.  We're hoping these fill in nicely.  I would have had a good lead in had Holland won today since these flowers are a mixture of orange and white, but it was not meant to be.

Sunday Planting

We finally got some plants into the ground today.  Just a few of our recent acquisitions.  With the early morning departure of the Three Lions (England, by the way), that has suddenly freed my calendar for gardening and other assorted forms of debauchery.  We planted a row of Impatients today.

Actually, Bubba did most of the Impatient planting.  I was inside putting the baby down for a nap, no, I was not getting a drink, and when I came out he had eight of the ten in the ground, already.  Look at him go.

We did a row of orange and white interspersed along one edge of the lawn.  I have no idea how big these things get, so I'm hoping our eyeballing of proper spacing allows them to be shoulder to shoulder.  If not, it was the boy's fault.  Alright, alright, I told him where to put them.  Simmer down, people.

We also got the daylillies from yesterday's post in.  I think I need to wait until the evening for the pictures, as with summer approaching the daytime sun is rather harsh.  I give it 50/50 I actually remember to wait.

We did have some other plants that went in, but that will be for a future post.  In the meantime, I leave you with a "Fun with Duct Tape" moment.

Yes, it's a hang glider.  Made of duct tape.  Damn Mythbusters.  Look them up.  I need to start a blog just with the crazy ass stuff this kid does.  Until next time...
