He got a job, I got bulbs and bare roots!!!
Comments (6)Hi Glo, ThisÂll be shortÂfor meÂbut I thought IÂd reply before I leave again! Did you get these all in bare root (the ones that arenÂt bulbs)? I think this may be one of those that everybody will have a different take on, but if it were me, IÂd just keep them in a cool/cold dark place until they could be planted directly outside. I donÂt think youÂd gain much by sticking them in pots firstÂand waiting will save you some work. (I know! I know! You want to do something NOW!!!) This, again, is just me, but if you stick the ferns and bleeding hearts (are they "old fashioned" Dicentra spectabilis?) in a COLD place or the fridge for a week or two to get them acclimated, I think you could plant them out now already (My bleeding heart is coming up already, and the ferns will stay dormant until it gets warm enough). With the warm weather weÂve been having this year, they should be fine, and if youÂre gonna worry about them, mulch them over for a while with non-cottonwood leaves or (weed seed free) straw or wood/bark mulch. Same thing with the lilies, Stellas, and peonies. Assuming your soil is workable already, IÂd be inclined to just harden them off and plant them! Even better if you do it during a week when you know weÂre into one of our warm stretchesÂjust to give them a little bit of "settling in" time before they get hit with more cold. When you plant the peonies, be sure you bury them with the eyes only about an inch below the surface of the soil. TheyÂre kind of like Iris! Too deep and they may not bloom for you. And the Peonies will take a few years to develop into the big, beautiful plants you see in pictures, so donÂt be disappointed the first couple yearsÂand by about year 3, buy a peony ring to put around them to help support the flowers when they get rained on! The Cannas and, IÂve never grown them but, I think the tuberoses, need to be protected from frost, so that sounds like something that might be good to stick in pots to give you a head start. I hope youÂre happy with your order from Michigan Bulb when you get it. Back when I was at PaulinoÂs, that always seemed to be the mail order company most people complained aboutÂquality, size, etc. Let us know what you think when you get your stuff. IÂd be interested to hear if maybe theyÂve improved in the last 9 years! $200, huh? YouÂre BAD, girl!!! Skybird...See MoreSon got a new job. Did I tell you?
Comments (26)I'm so happy for you both, Kat! It does seem our world dings the shyer and quieter among us, doesn't it? I have two shy kids and the other one has a much easier time with job interviews, etc. Getting the first job under his belt gave Ryan a good stepping stone, along with the experience of dealing with people. If I have to interview for another job one day, I'm going to have a verrrrrry hard time. I'll bet the Seattle job was a foregone conclusion and that they already had someone else nearly hired (inside the company,) before Ryan even went into the room. Sounds like they were just going through the motions and that was maybe why they couldn't look him in the eye. We had to pay dd's Cobra for a year (before the age limit was raised,) and that was also a lot of money--I feel your pain on that one....See MoreI got a Job Interview
Comments (11)Good thinking to call a place at which you've were working as a student, as they know you already. Much good luck to you Melanie....See MoreI got the Job
Comments (19)I think you're very right in keeping your options open & making the decision on which job to accept based on *your* needs & situation, weighing the pro/con of each offer carefully. Don't forget to look @ what the opportunities are offered for career growth & advancement. I have to say that their not interviewing you is a bit concerning to me. You deserve an interview... that doesn't strike me as being very professional. Part of a job interview is a chance for you to ask questions & get a feel for what kind of place it is to work for. Nevertheless, perhaps you are familiar enough with the facility & know other workers enough to not have that lapse be a barrier for you. Best wishes for today's interview. I hope you get an offer there too. Nothing like 2 or more offers to boost the confidence....See More
