This kid again.
I've been creeping around the yard, wondering which plant would be first to produce a flower. This does not include the container plants -- they're already doing very well in that area. Except one.
Anyway, it's a rose. They all seem to have buds, but there's one in the front of the house that is opening up.
Can't wait to see what's pink and what's red. Two of the autumn sages they planted are dead. They never even grew. The landscaper says to wait until late May and they'll come out to replace them.
Do I ask for a different color (not that I know what color these would have been) or do I just let them put in whatever?
Anyway, the one container plant that is failing -- and failing fast -- is my winter savory. Don't know what I did wrong, but it doesn't look like I can save the savory.
I'll wait for it to officially croak, then move some of the dianthus into that pot. That's going gangbusters.
Still haven't found any affordable geraniums. I already mentioned bringing plants into the garage during the winter and BH just looked at me. I guess that means no.
Why not try asking for whichever color(s) you'd like. All they can do is say no and put in what they want anyway. You won't be out anything, and you might get lucky and get what you want.
Then of course you'll have to keep the new plants alive.😉
Don't rush with the geraniums. The blooms and buds on mine ended up wilting and dying. I don't know what happened to it. We got a lot of rain after I planted it, so maybe the fertilizer was released too fast. But usually when that happens the leaves will dry up and wilt too, and they haven't. We also had a couple of days below freezing, but I covered it. If I don't see any more buds coming out soon I think I'll just replace it soon.
Our forecast is possible frost for a couple nights this coming week.

WGD smiles kinda like that.
Anyway, BH and I probably don't have any knack for real estate, either.
I think that if I'd been traveling from back East to the West coast and stopped in the Las Vegas area, I never would have envisioned neon lights, casinos, and women with enormous headdresses and skimpy outfits serving cocktails.
I would have said precisely what I said when we found ourselves in New Mexico in the dead of winter:
Nuclear holocaust.
Might explain why I'm still working for a living.
We've owned a lot of real estate and made out decently on most of it. The only property we've kept over the years was what I'm living on now. We never kept anything else long term because the property taxes were always too high on any investment to justify it.
Working is as good a way to spend your life as any. And you gotta admit that your job isn't boring!

That's funny because I was just talking to someone about my job -- like half an hour ago -- and she said the same thing: Not boring.
It's like a box of chocolates. I never know what I'm gonna get.
Okay. I was going to save this for next month's HEP post, but I think we could all use it now.
When you're a cat you're a cat all the way,
From your first cigarette to your last dying day...
