First, they finished the fence today and it looks great. I’m sure E. hates it–he was thinking 4-5′–but given the fact that they never go outside or even open their blinds, let alone their windows, IDGAF. Lots more arse-busting work to do, but once it’s done, it’s done for good.

Next, do not fuck with morning glory at 80+ humid degrees. Planted Saturday afternoon. This is Monday afternoon.

Cardinal climber may have sprouted, too, but more likely it was a stray morning glory. I also put 18 cardinal climber seeds from 544 in with the few I’d put in Saturday. Viable? Dunno.

It was almost 1745h when I happened to look over to the door we never use…and saw a long, white USPS box. Fuck. It had rained hard for a short while, so the ground was muddy, but ninebark that had already spent Sunday in the fucking Post Office couldn’t wait. Never before in the history of recorded time have ten little trees gone in the ground so fast. I’m pretty sure I heard one of them say, “WTF?!” I only needed eight and put the last two in what’s probably too much shade, but I had nowhere else they’d work, and if I have to, I’ll get two branches cut off the honeylocust tree. They don’t look like much aboveground, but the roots look healthy, and since they came from MA, it’s probably better that the weather’s going to cool and be rainy. For my hardy hibiscus, not so much, but for newly-planted ninebark, yes. I came out a bit from the evil honeysuckle line to give their roots a better chance, but loosely followed the creek line. Last spot has two; one closer to the creek. We’ll see how they do!
