Some nice ones! How does Kalahari Jewel perform for you? I like Sculpted Treasure, but not the 20" scape. Your pic highlights the gold edge on Malaysian Monarch. Keep them coming.

Hey Andrea, that was the place I was referring to. I try to buy in bloom but they're so reasonable with the perennials I get carried away. Judy's daylilies are looking much better this year, less deer damage although I haven't stopped in to purchase any yet (hopefully I'll get home tonite so I can start a new bed this weekend). Three new mini-beds but I've got some bigger plans...I'm sure I'll find something I need at Judy's. Haven't posted much lately, too busy with work but this week's mowing is caught up except for one I'm going to hit now. I'll try to sort through the pics and seperate my stuff from client's stuff and post some pics this evening. Really liking Kwanso this year, perfect compliment to my Fulvas, they start to come on just as Fulva is fading. Sort of like a prettier rebloom as the foliage and height are so similar.

Catch up in the garden.

Rita, I don't think garden work ever gets "caught up" but it sure sounds like you've been making progress! I'll bet that really feels good. Good for you! Saturday will be a big catch up day for me. The town holds a free "clean up" day where you can dump anything you need to be rid of for free. I hope to get the rest of my sunflowers and some tree suckers pulled too. I have been saving all the seedy weeds and big stalks like sunflowers on my trailer all summer so that I can haul it all to their dumpster. It is a mountain. Then the community gardens require so many hours of volunteer time and their last work day is also on Saturday. I still owe them 1.5 hours so I'll be helping winterize things down there too. If I get done with all that I have a plot there ready to till and cover with black landscape fabric so that it is ready for spring planting when I start moving daylilies & iris again. I would love to mulch my yard too but need to buy & install edgers first as the soil is already washing into the walkways in some areas. Then there is the rest of the 12.5 yards of sheep poop that I still need to spread. I guess it could be used as a mulch too. Then there are the beds around the house that I didn't have time to weed this summer & now need to really be dug......then...it never ends :)

Hi Karen and DD, thank you for the nice comments and for welcoming me back. I'm glad you like the laundry room. It truly is a happy place now and makes the chore of laundry a little sweeter...:). I've been gone for far too long, I'm having a heck of a time trying to read everything I've missed. I didn't even attempt to comment on all the new posts , it would take me forever. But I am so very impressed with everything y'all have done while I was 'missing in action'. I've missed out on some great themes and table settings that's for sure. I am also glad Judith got through her second surgery ok and is feeling a little better. I hope Betty and her DH are doing well and that he is recovering quickly. Judith and Betty, you have been in my thoughts. Kathleen will cause me to gain 50 lbs if I continue to see her beautiful tablesettings and the delicious food. I always leave those posts hungry and pretty soon I won't have to walk at all and people can just simply roll me around...lol. Gosh I just missed all of you and the talent and friendship here. I am so glad to be back. Hugs to you, Tam

Karen, glad to hear that you are feeling a little better. I can surely relate to all you have been dealing with. We had the last of our 3 family weddings yesterday, this time my son's. It was a beautiful day and the wedding was just beautiful. It was an outside wedding and reception and it couldn't have been lovelier. She used fall flowers and deco's and her dress was ivory, and after the service, they had a lovely barbecue dinner with great food. I really enjoyed it= the fact that it waas the last of 3 in 3 months time, (also a grand daughter and a grandson) When I finally got home last night, the fibro really hit me. I was so tired and achey that I went to bed at 8:oo. My Dh woke me up this morn and asked if I was going to church, but when I looked at the clock it was 10:10, so I said "I guess not today" I"ve just been dragging all day long, and am so achey I can hardly move without moaning and groaning. I don't think the weather forcast is helping any either , we are supposed to start getting rain tonight that will last through Thursday. I thought if I could just get through these weddings, I would feel better, but I guess the Fibro devil had other plans. I am glad that you are feeling better though. Maybe what is really wrong with me is that I haven't had my "retial therapy" for a couple of weeks. Maybe I just need a few hours out of the house by myself. Take care, Janet

Nice selection! I like all of them and cannot pick a favorite, and that's a very pretty pic of Beautiful Edgings!

Oh, very, very nice. I really like all of them, but Golliwog and Beautiful Edgings always are favorites for me. I can only shake my head about Wild Horses when I see other people's pretty pictures and I think about the pitiful plant of it in our garden, may be a goner next year. Avedon

Golliwog is such a delightful blend of colors, and so is Beautiful Edgings. I love Wild Horses.

All very nice. Sculpted Treasure does have a very defined sculpting. George Jets On has an interesting eye pattern.
