Well, I have clicked and saved pics and put them on 3 CDs, I found so much that is excellent! I thank you one and all! If you will please send me your snail mail address, I will send you a CD of our program. It is going to be interesting and fun! I promise that! I am still looking for a few pics- a few bottle trees, and some good pics of how re-claimed junk is set in the garden. If you have any of those, I would love to look at them. We tend to take pictures of our creations, and I want to share that, but some people have no idea of how to put it together. (None of those here.) Thanks again! Janie

Here's some of ours. We now have 112 roses (and we have small yards!), some are waiting to be planted. Hey, there are roses that are even shade tolerant, even ones that can climb up a tree! As seen from walking on the sidewalk: Front view: For more pics of our sides, front and back yards and more rose-y pictures too, Check out my Picture Trail: careytearose Here is a link that might be useful: look in the Landscaping Projects 2007 and Favorite ROSES we grow albums

Thought I had started my above response with today's find, but see I didn't. It must have been on my other board. Today I went to a town about 20 minutes away with my sister. She was looking for a pair of winter boots that she had seen there. We stopped in a Walgreens to look. We don't have a Walgreens, but one is being built a few miles away in our sister city. Anyway today I found two 6 foot lighted trees in urns for $10 each at Walgreens. They were originally $39.99! I was really excited. They had three more and I really wish that I would have bought at least one more. The two I got are for the outside of the house in the front. We will be screening our covered back porch in soon and I should have gotten one for out there and I think that I might like the look of one in my entry. The size would be good for it. Oh well, at least I got the two.

diggerdee, well it wasn't so fun with that cart, but I could kind of picture it in my mind, would make a good skit but it really wasn't funny, seems a bit now. Purple. Ah yes, I go for blue and get purple. Sometimes I really want purple. I'm finding that I'm mixing colors I didn't used to like together. I'm developing a passion for bearded iris. As if that isn't bad enough, I read a thread over on the iris forum where this person had splurged on Siberians. That makes me have to have some, so I write and ask a couple questions. The ones, wouldn't you know are frightfully expensive, so I might splurge and just get two of each kind I like the best, then if they die on me, I'll be totally bummed out. But I could die on them lol. I haven't tried your k word or scabiosa yet, glad you are enlarging your pallet of colors. I think I need an apricot iris, just love that color. That's enough chatter for now, see it's 1 am, son said he'd come and help spray tomorrow, and if he comes in the morning I won't be awake. I don't dare turn him loose spraying without following him around with something to shield or cover plants with. But I appreciate it when he offers to help.
