Good luck with those hedges Bov! They're wicked things.
Well, our pool is up and filling as I type this. Yay!! The geraniums did not trip my trigger so they are now in a spot at the very back of my yard and I planted the yard entrance planters with some spiky dracaena, some dark purple sweet potato vines, dusty millers, and petunias! Much more to my liking!!!

Alot of work, but well worth it. I will NEVER
buy geraniums again. (unless they keep the skeeters away!)
I still need to get my <3 Hibuscus <3 in memory of my Dad. They looked pretty scrawny when I was out looking earlier this month, so I will keep checking back until I find the one I want. I miss my Dad. Everytime I'm out flower/plant shopping, he comes to my mind and I even find myself silently talking to him. "Dad, you said these go well with these, right?" "These don't like wet roots", "Feel the plant to know when it needs water, you'll get it". The man taught me everything I know about them as well as fish keeping. No one can ever take that away.
Enjoy your day everyone!
