    Well, I purchased some more plants, I'll come with the names on Tuesday. I have so much work to do and the gardening season is so busy now, with so many new plants, that between (translation) jobs I can just run out, plant things or do any other 'garden-related' stuff, but have no time to write about it.

    Here are some photos of today's shopping trip to a nearby nursery:

      31. Tree peony 'Chu Wu'
      32. Tree peony 'Xue Ta'

      Waiting their turn for tomorrow are 17 more roses.
      :heehee:

      Only pity I can't dedicate more time to the forum, but it's a really busy period, and for twenty+ days I had to keep a very tight pace of work, rising at about 4:30 in the morning so that I could pack up translations in the dark and cold hours of day and free some sunny time for the garden. The result is: I effectively hate the computer, but have no choice. :pcthwack:
      Hope the garden pays it back... :biggrin: :WINK1:
