Looking mighty fine...

It is so nice to see the pictures - they speak a thousand words. I don't know names of plants either but I love what the south bed looks like with the new hydrangea, and the new soil. You will be very happy with results and as you say, worth every penny for you.
Had some more issues with internet yesterday which cost me about three hours of my time.I initially called my server after I had tried to troubleshot first myself. They were less than helpful, saying they had no troubles on their end and I would have to book a technician to visit the house. OK! So I called my geeksquad on the phone. They helped best they could but ended up saying that it was the server issue because it was not recognizing our username and passwords when we logged on. he said to call the local Best Buy (where our geeksquad contract is) and they could maybe diagnose if we took the tower in. That store said No way, they had no means to diagnose at the store with the sever. So last resort I called the server back - after waiting about 30 minutes (as they had an unusually large number of calls) another fellow (not the same one had first spoken with)came on to say Why yes, after I first spoke with them they did identify a problem and they had the technicians working on it.  About two hours later, the server specialist called me back to say they had fixed the problem, and would I please log to ensure it was OK now, while they waited on the line to confirm. It was the first fellow i had spoken to initially that called me - he had been very short with me the first time, and i wondered if maybe they had him make the call just to smooth things over. I was annoyed with his attitude the first time, but said nothing rude to him. This second time he was all "nicey, nicey"  You never know do you? Long story short, we are back to business.
I have a call into my Broker to see if Mike can get some truck insurance through them. last year he paid $979.00 through his company he was dealing with in North bay but got his statement in the mail last week asking for $2317.00 for this year. That seems a little high!!  Hope we can work things out to the better for him.
Well, back to the garden and more weeding and trimming tomatoes, and tieing up tomatoes. Lots of fun  Take care
