What would Jane Austen Grow?

We had another walk through tonight. Erica planted 5 palnts for me. Dad had good suggestions for focal plants and repetition of plant varieties. He appreciated our pruning of the Yuletide Camellia. I now have a new art piece, an angel on a mushroom. I need to relocate it so noone will notice the broken wings! I am used to taking home the broken items and the not up to par plants. I had to laugh when my brother told me I had use large and nice specimens since the tour was a reflection on the nursery. I had jsut come to the conclusion that I did not have the time for the plants to mature. I had actually begun to select the biggest and best. It is a change of outlook for me, so the “broken” angel helped me feel more comfortable. However, I still have to obscure those broken wings.
It must be a full weekend of working in the garden, come rain or come shine. Hopefully it will be warm and not overly wet. I cannot garden in the rain gear that I own, so I will have to absorb any rainfall. Let’s hope Mitch gets a lot done on Saturday. Maybe we can work on Friday night. We’ll see what the weather is like.
