Okay, melted now.
I got up early this morning to go to Watson's Greenhouse down in Puyallup, since I'd been told it was fabulous. And it was. A very, very dangerous place for a Kris. I didn't buy the fifty-dollar hydrangea that I wanted, but I did buy two others, as well as larkspur, more lavender, and a few other things. Carpinito Brothers yeilded carnations and another hydrangea. I also stopped at the Puyallup Farmer's Market, which was quite nice; nobody selling local meats, but a good selection of everything else. (I didn't have any cash with me, so I was browsing instead of buying.)
Came home and proceeded to put in all of the plants I bought. I love our trees, but their surface roots I could really do without. By the time I was finished, I was quite literally dirt from head to toes, courtesy a number of roots that sprayed dirt all over the place when I pulled them up. The lavender bed is finished for the year (including soaker hose for better watering), I think i may have everything in the cutting garden I'll grow this year, and I now have an experiment running to see if petunias will survive our garden window.
It's really hot here, but for some reason I honestly didn't notice all that much while I was working. I always handle heat a lot better than I think I will; probably a consequence of growing up in California. The sun came out and it's feeling a lot less muggy than it was, which is nice.
I am tired and sore and now it is time to rest for a bit and wait for it to get cooler. Perhaps a nap is in order in the coolest place in the house, currently the living room.
