Bunkers - that was really neat. I also picked the Dueling Banjos; tight man. I once fell in love with a woman drinking whiskey; I walked into my bar and was the place empty except one woman in a black leather coat sitting alone, drinking whiskey. I sat right next to her and we both (continued) - and then all of a sudden, "wham" she fell backwards off her seat and crashed to the floor. It was from that moment forward we fell in love for, more than a year. I still talk to her to this day on the telephone. Check out one of my all time favorite movies: 'Barfly' Daxman

I have a few more items worth listing Ipomoea coccinea or scarlet morning glory. A favorite of hummingbirds and listed as a native on the IFAS publication at the link below. Warning is does reseed readily if seeds not removed. Dies back in summer. New plants pop up in Fall. Also I have several white containers some glazed some not. I am collecting green containers especially the old time planters. Anyone interested in the white? anyone have green? Kat Here is a link that might be useful: Ipomoea coccinea

I worked on those terraces gardens last year and I worked on them some more this year. Wouldn't be surprised if I was working on them again next spring. Before I had the terraces I used to grow nasturtiums here in big tall pots and they would trail down. They looked good in the pots but look even better spilling down the wall. It was never really a serious consideration not to plant the nasturtiums up there again this year. Plus its really easy for me to do as our local nursery were I buy lots of stuff each spring sells the starter plants in 6 packs so I just buy and plant. I love the jewel like color tones of the flowers and I even think the leaves are pretty. They are a very easy flower so I intend to replant them in those three groups the way they are now each spring.

Rita, I love those planter boxes! Really love them, but that stone wall in front is to die for! I have a very nice slope like yours, but unfortunately, most of it is under a huge water Oak tree. That tree is the bane of my garden, but DH loves it...I keep hoping for a lightening strike or something. I would adore having some big rocks like those dug up on your place. I do have some space they would fit into, but I will have to settle for the rocks around the pond I imagine. I have been working outside all day again. Everything got sprayed with fungicide. The Knock Out roses behind the greenhouse are the only ones that still need cut back a little. I've been moving hard scape around, and I have to go back to Lowe's to get more. I need to put down some fresh mulch too. I got the cannas dug up, and the shrub that had gotten too large in the front is gone too. I rooted a piece of it since the hummers love it, but I will plant it far away from the day lillys since it an aggressive grower. I plan to plant three clematis tomorrow. Two of them are in buds. I decided to make my herb garden a pot garden, so that gives me more planting space. Well except for the clump of Rosemary...it's too big to be moving it around. Thanks to someone I know posting on the Cottage Garden forum, I went to the recommended website and ordered hummingbird mint and butterfly weed. I read the post after digging up the cannas, and hadn't decided what to put there. I have butterfly bushes, red hot pokers, and a dahlia or two in that bed, so I figure the new stuff will fit right in. I will have to make a little change in my nice rich bed that the hummingbird mint is going to, but that won't bee a huge thing. I just need to "lean up" the soil and improve the drainage which I will do at the same time. I planted a few trays of annual seeds today, and painted some of the garden fixtures (bench, plant stands etc...) but there is still a lot to do. DH is working a little along on the new pond project. The little existing pond is far too full of very large fish, so this expansion is well overdue. I still am not going to order a lot of daylillys or iris this year. But somehow, it seems as if there is still an awful lot of work to be done. I was looking at the stepping stones today, and the freezing and thawing this winter caused some heaving, so I will be doing a bit of work there too. kay
