I've Finally Got Tulips!

I know you are all prettty tired of tulips by now. But mine just began blooming, so I must show them to you.

The deer only nibbled at them once, so I got quite a few to bloom. There are still quite a few that have not opened. This is about half of them.

This is the longest shot, which shows almost all of the rockwall garden.
I can't remember what any of them are. They were all planted at least three years ago.

I've always loved these orange ones, but they are pretty short this year. They are about 5 years old, so I am just happy to get any bloom at all from them.
Today I planted the two big half barrels on the deck and the old sled. I did pretty good on spending less money. I will show them to you another day because I am just too tired tonight.

I also went shopping for plants at work and planted the 4 big containers there. This is what I wore to work today.
Does it look like something you would want to wear to go plant buying? I call it my school marm look. All lace, collar up to my chin, long sleeves and another long-sleeved jacket over it.

I don't know why I am smiling. I was totally miserable in the hot sun buying plants! The boss went with me (he had the truck to haul everything...and the check to pay for it all). I made him take me home to change clothes before I went back to work to plant. I felt much better once I got all that heavy stuff off!

Now that I've planted so much stuff, I hope it doesn't frost!
