planted penstemon of unknow color from CCSF in same place. Planted yellow rose from SJ grower.
went to Sloat, bought scissors for flowers, and bulbs, lilies + dahlias- not to be planted til Feb. (among daffodils?)
Repotted Sally Holmes rose- big big job. Hauled to curb, cut root growing out of pot, made more holes in bottom- put down filter fabric and granite gravel in bottom. planted it in compost and soil I had in bags; put old wet soil in 5 gal buckets, to go downstairs. cut tree roots under granite blocks and above filter fabric under rose pot and several other pots. (took away weeds from pots)
Still intend to make list of what to buy, but no time. That will be in Feb.
Weeded only a bit downstairs.
unusual heat for 2 weeks. Now rain a week.
