All the things to do

So I finally got the rest of the plants potted. Now I'm thinking I may need to get some actual plants, the only problem, other than like petunias or begonias I don't know of any. I need some suggestions on some shorter plants. Everything I planted is going to end up being at least a foot tall so I have to find something to fill in the bottom. Especially where I didn't really plant anything and where there is just bare space under the bushes. I have noticed some sprouting on my greenhouse plants too. I'm so excited! Never really thought I had the nack for the whole planting and gardening thing but it's really great. Now I just hope it really grows.
Bean is getting tuckered out being out in the sun too. She's too funny on her bike though. She's gotten in to figuring out how to get one of the training wheels up on the grass next to the driveway so then the rear wheel is free spinning. She thinks it's a riot. Have to keep on her about the helmet and shoes rules though. I feel bad though, she was outside with me Tuesday and something bit her. She has these three little welts all together on her cheek and then one up closer to her temple. They don't seem to be bothering her but they're so red and swollen, I think I may take her to the Dr.s on Monday to have them looked at.
I finished a crochet project last night too. Didn't come out quite the way I wanted it to; too short. It was supposed to be like a market bag but like I said it's too short so it's a bit more clutch like. But I like the way it came out. I used this neat piece of ribbon to make the handle piece. And it can drawstring which is nice. I have to try to figure out how to get pictures onto this and then I can show them off. So just a few more things on my to do list for now. Not to mention the laundry that has been piling up. That is definitely on the agenda for the evening; the kitchen is in desperate need of attention. Off to the cleaning.

  1. Full sun or shade, or a mix of both?

    If you want really short, more like a ground cover, there are a bunch of different varieties of Sedum that only get a few inches tall and they spread really well so you won't have to buy a ton of plants.

    I *love* my Johnny Jump-ups - they always look so happy! And they spread well also ...

    If you wanted to make the trek down here one day, I could give you a bunch of stuff - just gotta coordinate schedules! =)

  2. Mostly full sun, I have one spot that gets shady later in the afternoon but all through the high sun parts of the day it's getting baked.

    I could definately do that, I have a bunch of books for you still. When are you not working?

  3. Haha umm well, it would have to be after school is out for sure. With running down there, then coming home and trying to get stuff done before running to work, I'm in a bit of a tizzy LOL (Class is over June 30th)
    Yeah, I've def got some stuff for you if its full sun to part shade =)

    And FYI, I wish your blog would "remember" me so I didn't have to type in my name all the time. I am now "Anonymous" lol
