so many perennials, so little time

Finally!  Good weather!  I'm getting tired of moving the annuals in and out of the house every day to harden them off.  There's no frost in sight in the 5 day forecast.  While that doesn't mean it's safe to put annuals in the ground yet (the recommended time is May 24), perennials can be planted now.

I've got a big new garden area to fill, so I browsed for a few new perennials today and was quite well-behaved - only came home with one thing that I have no idea where I'm going to put it (but a $2.99 perennial!  I couldn't resist!!).  I then went for a haircut and my hairdresser insisted that she'd heard on the Breakfast Show today that it will be too soon to plant this week-end.  I tried to explain to her that they were probably talking about annuals, not perennials, and what the difference was, but she didn't hear me.  She did go on at length about some new line of hair products that was entirely boring to me.  I guess that's why she's a hairdresser and I'm a garden coach...

We're finally getting some warm weather as well. I've left my hardened off perennials outside for several nights now and they're doing fine. Phew!
