It was tempting to order with the fall sale with Floral and Hardy but, I still have all the ones I purchased this spring in pots awaiting their permanent homes yet. About 100 or so... And, I have a large hosta order that I did with 9 neighbors and friends in the area is arriving any day now from NovaScotia thru Pat Vinish, the hostageek. He has the best prices in Canada that I have found and is offering to send them with no shipping charges for this fall. Also because he is private there is no taxes. Then when the two banana box sized boxes arrive, those hostas will need to be dispursed and planted up also. The majority of the 60 or so ordered are for me. So, then they need to get into permanent homes in my yard also. Lots to do at this time of the year. Nice choice of daylilies, Sharon! Brenda

Must be lots of fun Sharon to wait anxiously to see a new seedling bloom for the first time! both are lovely:) This is kinda my "dog" $$ spending year, not a gardening year, so had only ordered 3 daylilies from Coral Kincaid (was so impressed last year with my order) two for grandaughters - Brooklyn Twist (which is so appropriate with her kinky/curly hair) and the closest I could come up with for Colby was Colburg's Frightwig (appropriate in a way, as her hair is REALLY curly/tossled) both Coral and I agreed, that Colby better have a good sense of humor, when she is old enough to know what her "namesake" daylily is:) both have bloomed and I am pleased with both. The third one I ordered was Radiation Biohazard - everyone's pics of this one, made me "just have to have it". The other daylily source I have ordered from in the past was Artemis Gardens and they sent huge/multiple fans - one of particular note is Kings Throne - just got it last year, but this year, it is sending many, many thick scapes up with 4 to 5 way branching, and the blooms are thick, heavy and large, very pleased with this one. (although I have a thing for the spiders) I was extremely disapointed with the order from Floral & Hardy (posted a pic on a different thread last year) just a few of my order made it, and although the prices were good, just too disapointed overall to try them again.

From what I have learned Leaping Lizards is still doing landscaping and plantings, even though they don't have a new location yet. I know their phone number 908.542.9797 is still active. If you leave a message, they will call you back. FYI, Marion Farms from up across from the VA hospital has taken over the site.

Couch ... rather a poor picture, but you can see the shape of the arms. It's all loose pillows, so it's easy to recover. I'm going to strip the wood of that tacky pastel stuff and let the real wood do its thing. The floor is extremely temporary. Under the yucky 1992 pinkish-beige carpet (date verified by a scrap of newspaper referring to "president-elect Clinton) was equally yucky plywood subfloor, and the new oak floors won't arrive until late July. So I grabbed some "oops" paint from the hardware store and painted it a dusty lavender. It's smoother, dust-free, and way prettier than plywood. Cooperbailey: Yes, the pillows are definitely going to be covered with something suitably gaudy fun. The design goal for this place is "Taos Hippy Colony/ Vintage New Mexico / Boho Ethnic Moroccan" but with less taste.
