I still have tons of double impatiens, rex begonias, and Waves to plant. Today (since we didn't go to Morrisonville) I went to mom & dad's house and planted some of the impatiens and left left the nicotiana and some begonias for mom to use in a planter.
Tonight I am totally exhausted as I haven't slept well since Phyllis' passing so I didn't have any energy to put the annuals in the ground. Perhaps in the morning I will be able to at least do a few containers.
In the meantime, I will cut the top 4" or so of the leggy impatiens, dip them in a rooting hormone, and stick them in a soilless medium. This will give me even a bigger crop to plant and share with friends, and will make the original impatiens bush out and become full.
I look forward to a day at home so that I can start my Phyllis garden, which will be filled with nothing but purple flowers.

Coach. It's a title that means a lot to me. As a child I looked up to my
coaches, especially my father. My asthma was always too bad to be an
athlete. ...
