He made himself available to me at pretty much any hour via email and texts, he was very responsive and knowledgeable. He’s also very straightforward, I explained to him what my expectations were in terms of closing time and other particulars. He said he would meet those expectations but he surpassed them. I closed so quickly my realtor and the seller of course were excited about that. But as a buyer I appreciated being walked through the process in a succinct yet thorough fashion. From pre-approval to closing- the journey was so seamless and I consider myself lucky because I’ve heard horror stories about the internet . I recommend A loan officer ben lee contact email: 247officedept@gmail.com & Whatsapp Number :+1-989-394-3740 to anyone looking for a loan in any market.

I hope you divided and replanted some of them.<br />You should certainly be able to plant bulbs there. Daffodils are hardy as can be. Tulips, crocus, snowdrops...all hardy.<br />They can be still be planted while the ground is workable. You can plant them between perennials and plant annuals over them after the foliage dies down.<br />You've got some good suggestions from your other blog friends. <br />It's great that people donated plants. Good idea to say no to the thugs. You have to be a bit choosy :)<br />Phlox, monarda, achillea and conflowers are pretty tough perennials and easy. <br />Shasta Daisies, as Kit. suggests, are great too.<br />I'll look forward to seeing the results next spring and summer.<br />Let's hope and pray for a mild winter! I'm already looking forward to spring :)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159978459686270186.post-12269532164118870622009-10-29T23:49:30.039-05:002009-10-29T23:49:30.039-05:00Hi Beth, Hope the project is going well!

I like the idea of adding some grasses to the plan too. <br /><br />I think Susie's idea for sedums is a good one. Sedums are so, so easy to start from cuttings, even if no one has rooted plants to donate, sedum cuttings can be stuck in the soil and most, if not all would root with no care at all. <br /><br />Good luck with the project! I've helped with school gardens around here, and it can really be a lot of fun getting the kids involved. It can even be part of the science curriculum if teachers are interested and supportive of the idea. <br /><br />One of the schools has a butterfly garden and a few veggies too. The teachers and the kids love it. I second the idea of getting the local extension office involved if possible. Master Gardeners are often interested in such projects, and may be willing to donate plants and/or time.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159978459686270186.post-62986125580747972522009-10-04T19:01:01.329-05:002009-10-04T19:01:01.329-05:00I'd suggest verbena.

Future Farmers Of America students could take turns watering the flower beds. The Zen students could add a rock garden section for morning meditation groups.Johnnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489840879589640620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159978459686270186.post-74816578442348709822009-10-04T18:37:47.546-05:002009-10-04T18:37:47.546-05:00Wow, you're really taking on a project there. ...Wow, you're really taking on a project there. They should rotate the watering responsibilities among the students to teach them a little bit about gardening...they could even earn some sort of credit for it! :)<br /><br />One plant that I love for its low maintenance and good productivity is a daisy. Mine could use a good thinning if you want a chunk or two. They spread, but very gradually. Also, I have some bright yellow coreopsis (as you know) that definitely need to be cut back. That too is prolific without needing much care. I'd be happy to donate both of them if you don't think it's too late to transplant.<br /><br />Best of luck - I'd love to brainstorm more about it anytime!Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999597886958429428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159978459686270186.post-45426981472918565272009-10-04T15:43:42.939-05:002009-10-04T15:43:42.939-05:00Since you don't have anyone to help water I wo...Since you don't have anyone to help water I would go with the most drought resistant plants such as sedums. Also maybe use some of those daylilies in the big planter and something to drape around. The potato vine or petunias would be pretty but will someone be able to water? I don't know about planting bulbs in your area. Here in our area so many bulbs act like annuals and we have to replant every season. <br /><br />If you have a local county extension office they might make some good suggestions.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270611634380137009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159978459686270186.post-43791232646939003472009-10-03T21:40:59.133-05:002009-10-03T21:40:59.133-05:00So many choices!

Maybe some ornamental grasses in amongst those flowers you suggested?<br />RoseyChloe mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265196480664185330noreply@blogger.com
