Hi everybody, I am new to gardening and am looking for plants to make my yard beautiful. Almost any types of plants will be welcome as I love them all. My dream yard will have lots of fragrant plants including, heirloom roses, iris, daylillies, perennials, like a cottage garden. This spring I planted some heirloom tomatoes and plan on saving the seed for anyone who wants to trade. Last summer my neighbor saved seeds from my plants and I am thrilled to say that he had 100% germination rate!!! Who would of guessed they come up so much better than store bought. My children 11 and 14 love to help me in the garden. My yard has fruit trees, vegies, and flowers. I love fleabane with it's dainty daisy flowers. I just wish it would spread more. Oh, I have extra feverfew, which gets beautiful daisy flowers and is great for headaches. I like mixing it with the mexican pink primrose and purple iris for a beautiful spring show. It stops traffic. My guara is beginning to bloom. I am attempting to take cuttings of it, but they are wilting. I also have started cutting of the dark purple butterfly bush, my favorite. I am just having lots of fun in the garden, propagating when I can, sometime suceeding, sometimes not. Hopefully I will have more to share with you guys and gals later. If you have anything to trade, let me know as I love plants. If I can help you out, let me know, that is what gardening friends are for.

In Kindest Regards,

Cindy
