I planted blue corn today. My friend gave me six that she had started. This weekend I planted white corn, I think it's 'Silver queen'

had quite the time finding corn seeds around here this time of year.

Yesterday I transplanted a huge princess flower bush!

Hopefully it takes, I was kinda harsh to it.
It was planted in a small area surrounded with cement.
So not a lot of room to dig. I ended up pulling the rest of it out with my truck, then it was so heavy I dragged it with the tractor to the backyard. Had to move it around with a pole under it, and pull with the tractor to straighten it up!

I was quite proud of myself for doing it alone!
The bush probably weights the same as me!

I pulled up my green beans a week ago and my corn stalks a few days ago and then on Saturday I planted 6 rows of sweet corn (peaches and cream variety) approx. 190 ft. total. and today i'm going to plant more green beans. I've always wanted to try a fall garden and this seems as good a time as any.

We retilled and planted white silver type corn yesterday, and made hills for squash that I will be planting today. I also got my brocolli, cauliflower and cabbage started in pots since the rows arent retilled for them yet. This will be my first time for a fall garden so Im excited to see how well it does. Our summer garden didnt do well since we were busy with other things and the peas and first corn got away from us. Well good luck to all who plant a fall garden this year.

I bought 16 peonies at a nursery over the weekend and I am going to plant them today.
I also bought a some meadow sage and rudbeckia.
The nursery had taken a bunch of the peonies and put them in carts of 8 each. They marked the carts for $25.00 each.
These were indvidudally marked between 9.99 and 15.00 each but when this place marks things down they just make up carts and sell them off in package deals.
So I bought 2 carts of peonies for $50.00 and ended up with 16 beautiful, large, healthy plants.
I figure I saved at least a minimum of $110.00 if you go by the $9.99 price, but probably more than that.
I love peonies but they are so expensive to buy from the online/mail order nurseries, I see them there for $30.00 and more.
I got a real nice variety of several different colors.
I am going to go back today after I plant all these, they have other carts of assorted perrenials made up.
This place also does by 2 shrubs get 2 free every summer.I have gotten the most beautiful shrubs from this place. There is nothing wrong with these either, he just likes to move things along.
Last year I got a cart with 24 mums on it for $10.00.
Well, we will be busy digging holes this week.:)
