Bright green service berry with a few light green dogwoods around it. Dogwood on right still has some white leaflets on it. Wouldn't mind getting some dogwoods with colored leaflets. Every single thing on this property blooms white except for some orange lilies I grabbed from the roadside years ago and one purple/blue iris I grabbed from the roadside last year. Every single tree I have has yellow Fall foliage. Had sumac for one year but the goats ate that. I want more color dangit.

I left everything out for two days and two nights because days were 82 with light wind and nights were 62. Rained the second night. Got a good hardening off but yesterday got 45mph gusts so I brought them in. Gusts were bringing in rain which is bringing in cool front and will be 39 tomorrow night and the next so we're just not quite there for maters/peppers yet. Of course the stores all have pepper and mater plants but they're in an unheated greenhouse that they close up at night.

Who eats the cost if a cold snap comes in and kills all the warm weather plants at the stores? Seen it happen at walmart once which is about the only place that doesn't have them under a roof at least. I doubt walmart eats the cost though. That's not the way they work. Bonnie would have to take the hit.
