Tag Archives: figuring out the irrigation system programming

Hooray for the Elephant Ears!

Last year I had a truly beautiful display of elephant years – two plants given to me by my good friend, Laufrain. I tried to over winter them in the garage in a trash can of peat moss, but nothing came up when I replanted them. :0( I ordered a set of three bulbs online and planted them. Nothing was happening. I planted some Impatiens so the planter wouldn’t be completely empty. Suddenly, the plant on each end of the planter sprouted. Nothing in the middle. Two days ago I noted something different. The plant in the middle had sprouted!

HOOOOOOORAAAAAAY!

AND – to put icing on the cake – our irrigation system worked as it should have last night, coming on just when it should – proving that my last reprogramming effort was correct! My husband is a bit miffed that “I” figured it out, but I’m just ignoring that. He’s so smart, fixing everything in the house and yard and making me feel stupid most of the time, so it feels REALLY GOOD to have figured something out. :0)
