We close in one week!

At least that's what the date tells me. I still haven't gotten the clear to close call yet, and the tic-toc of the clock makes me nervous. I wish I had the all clear by now. I need to set up my utilities, do change of address, etc... Uh, at what point do I say, yes this is really happening and move forward?

So a co-worker put out an email asking who would like some iris bulbs. Or I guess they are really tubers, or are they rhizomes? In any case, she had a ton that hadn't been divided in years, and of course I said YES! I want 20! They looked so pretty...

And now I've got this bag of tubers for a house I don't quite own yet. I know they can be planted in october, but that clock is ticking too! Think I can just sneak in the back and plant these guys before it get's too late?

Ha ha. I don't even have a plan for how I want to landscape. Besides, they could be so pretty in the front yard as well. Maybe that's it, I'll plant them in front! But wait, the front faces west. Is late sun going to be good enough? Augh! It's just flowers and I'm driving myself crazy! My south-eastern backyard is plotted for my vegetable garden. And the southern side is where we eventually want to expand. Ok, it's settled. I will plant the majority of them in the front, and a few in the back. From what I hear, these are some hardy plants and as long as I can get them in the ground soon, I should be fine. They'll reproduce. Whew, one decision down, 8 million to go!
