Things to do this Weekend

Last weekend, Drake and I got all the ornamental grass dug up, divided, and replanted.  Well, almost- I still have lots of quarters sitting there that I just couldn't deal with planting.  I was going to pack them up and bring them to the Flower Market, but they are way too big to fit in any containers.  If I am feeling like being a good person, I could try to cut them into smaller sections and then pot them up.  That would also enable me to water them and clean them up.  Then I would need to label them... I think I will print out some kind of label at work and tape it to the container. Then I would need to get them all into my car and bring it to Mom and ask her to bring them to the Flower Market, which she might not want to do.

We also divided two of the bigger Liriope, and I broke them into little sections and planted them in the patio bed.

Anyway, so much work to do next weekend

• Transplant Rhododendron.  I should of course dig the new hole first, and then try to dig up a lot of roots and move it in the afternoon.  and once I do that....
• Plant the Roses!!!  I can certainly plant two of them in the side bed- one will probably just go into the leftover hole.  The other will go kind of where the old Hellebore was.  and once I do that...
• Set up the soaker hose.  
• Move Hostas.  I think I want to move those baby bright green ones to the Patio bed.  I think they're supposed to stay tiny, I think they might be intended for containers.  Then I have those two big hefty blue-green ones.  If I gave them to my neighbor, they would probably do great for her...  I could move one to the back corner, which is probably one of the shadier parts.  Actually, I think I grew sunflowers there last year...  
• Plant Zinnias and Sunflowers.  I have the good Zinnias in the container, those will go near the back.  The sunflower starts will go near the front, and hopefully they will be their advertised size, less than 2 feet.  At that point, I can probably direct-sow some seeds of both the zinnias and the sunflowers.  

If I'm feeling ambitious, I will dig out the Liriope that's way in the back of the front bed.  I can also move the tulips there, but I think I would need to put them into a container so they can continue to do their thing.  Then I can cut it into small sections, and I think I'd like to use them as a border at the back of the side bed.  God, that liriope, I will need to cut that one thing into like, 12 sections. 

I think I need to move the Echinacea to make space for the Roses.  It's almost too big already, but after a year it would get way too crowded, and then it would be even harder to move them. I'm thinking I could put then in the side bed, on either side of the air conditioner.  

Vegetables!  

I can definitely plant the green beans.  I could do that now if I wanted to.  I have to be sure to put the trellises in at the same time, because if I wait for them to grow, I'll just end up messing them up.  

I should probably harvest some of the Romaine this weekend (if not tomorrow).  I could even bring some in to work if anyone would want them.  Or I'll bring them to Mom's.  We can make a big Caesar salad or something.
