well if it makes you feel any better..........I am still taking son who
works at another one and doesn't have a valid drivers license, to work every
day that he's scheduled, (they don't allow relatives to work the same store
( ) and that's only 47 miles one
way............................................... ..............I ain't
forgot yer canna rhizome, either. My vacation time was anything BUT
vacation, and Squire just spent the first whole day off from driving semi
for his company trying to fix my computer and get it to recognize the modem
after failed attempts to install a new US Robotics faster 128
modem..............sigh. I've been down and up and down (mostly down) all of
yesterday, and today until tonight. And last Friday morning, I was
completely off until late Monday
night............................................. ...............I see the
next day off is Veteran's day, and of course the post office will be closed,
but I also have Friday and I can send yer lil' canna on Friday morn. I also
hafta send some "pregnancy plants" to a patient man out in California as
well. I think he's given up on me.......I just moved all the cacti and
succulents and tender tropicals and what not inside last Thursday and Friday
and finished yesterday, and it's the latest I've brought things inside. I've
discovered I have more than enough to send him and he'll hunt me down next
year when they appear in every pot of cactus he has g and kick me
butt...LOL
madgardener back online and grateful for the magic of computers and the

I zipped over to Lowe's cuz of mad's reminder that bulbs are half price,
and I suddenly need a thousand or so relatively common bulbs for a
landscaping job this coming week. These aren't for me, they'll be planted
at the place I'll be working on a lot next spring & a little right now. I
have a budget so it isn't an option to buy the expensive semi-rarities I'd
get for myself.

I didn't find anything at Lowes that I could use, & at 50% discount Van
Engelen Bulbs is still wayyyyy cheaper for most things. But on the way to
Lowes I also checked in at Fred Meyer to see what they had on sale, &
their already-cheap bags of 100 each of basic narcissi now at 40% off were
way cheaper than even Van Engelen whose narcissi aren't so cheap even at
wholesale (because they don't stock the super-common types sold in chain
nurseries). Also a bag of 100 muscaris at 40% brought them down to about
Van Engelen's price so I got those. So I got several big bags of bulbs for
a pittance, which will be added to a sizeable last-minute order from Van
Englelen which damn well better arrive immediately.

I also knew a source of C. hederifolium for $2.99 each quite mature.
Though fearing they'd already be sold out & no chance to reorder until
next autumn, I dashed off yesterday morning to Bainbridge & bought all
they had left, about a tray & a half is all, but enough to make one fairly
substantial area of cyclamens under a large evergreen. Tomorrow I'll be
digging shallow pits & working in compost & planting large drifts of
cyclamens, narcissi, & grape hyacinths, & when the Van Engelen order
arrives, adding hundreds of crocuses & siberian scilla & botanical tulips
& two more kinds of grape hyacinths -- plus I piggybacked a couple things
for last-minute for myself, including a dwarf Iris tuberosa, & may keep
like a dozen of the 'Blue Magic' muscari, but mainly for once it was fun
to order a bunch of stuff knowing it ain't my money. I do wish the job had
been firmed up & budgeted eight weeks ago, I could've gotten such cool
crocuses that are already out of stocks now, but the fewer to choose from
now are spiffy enough.
