The first thing that caught my eye when looking at your pictures was the neatly tended, mulched and weed-free beds. You must have good garden helpers or else you put down some Preen or magic dust. With all the rain and too many gardens for one person to tend to, I just blink and the weeds have sprouted again. I remember last summer and how helpless I felt with my broken shoulder, just staring at the jungle that grew up and powerless to do anything about it. If you are feeling restless, I can sympathize. I still like Do The Twist.....it just has that 'different' look about it. Glad to know you are getting outside and around, even though I'm sure you wish you could do more.

Sky hooks looks good. George Jets On reminds me I need to move mine. For some reason I put it behind some tall plants, it did not bloom as well this year. A small one I really like. I like your Vision Seeker too.

Those are all nice. Of course I like the Bennett pink Fashionaire best. He does do pinks well.....The Conway Splendor bloom looks big and flat. Nice one.......I like Nordic Night too......Your seedling has nice ruffling. Always a plus in my book..........Maryl

Debra: Allegheny Skyline seems to do very good here and if my memory is correct, it did good in NY too bloom wise. . It doesn't get full sun all day but I do believe all our rain has helped. I'll check to see what kids BB has. Thanks for the info. Brad: iAllegheny Skyline is a good color but waiting to see how it does on our hot 90's days here. PA is a stones throw from us...well maybe more than a stone throw. Although the trip from NYS through PA to WV was always enjoyable I am glad not to make those 5 1/2 to 6 hour drives one way. Kate: I always enjoyed the pics of Bob Marley. It really draws the eye. I do need to think about a backdrop for it, Catastrophe Waitress and Carolina Sugar Daddy. Some of the dayliiies on that side of the garden are less surrounded by other perennials. Julia
