Rhododendron seedling

I bought this seedling from a local grower last summer, planted it, then when I moved, I brought it with me. It has started to bloom, a nice yellow peach color.  The grower was at the sale on Sunday, I bought another one from him, a darker pink bud on it. I have to go and visit him again in a couple of weeks.
Last year I started working on a property in West Hants, restoring a neglected garden, and I will continue to work on it this year. Now they want some work done on their own property not far from the first one. I met with them today, they want to create a noise and visual barrier on 2 sides of their property. I told them a ballpark figure would be $10 - $15,000 dollars, and that's the amount they were expecting. So that will be major job # 1 to work on this summer.
Thursday evening I have a first meeting booked with another possible client. They had a house fire last year and insurance will cover the cost of rebuilding their garden. From what they said in their first email, I expect it will be another $10,000 + job, so it would be nice to get that one too.
I also have 2 other smaller quotes booked for this week.
I am glad that one of the students who worked last year starts back to work tomorrow, plus I have another part time guy starting tomorrow.
At the rate things are going, I need a second truck.
