We did have a great visit and so happy you actually took some time to piddle. Too bad the rain didn't cooperate and we could have piddled longer. Janet must be blind to weeds because I do have them - in fact, I even have one she couldn't ID for me. Rather than just cussing and calling them weeds, Janet actually knows the name of most of them. I have had one weed pop up that is new to me this year. In fact when it first started appearing, it was close to a shasta daisy and the leaves were very similar to it and I thought the thing had reseeded. Since I'm a plant hog, I let some grow and I was going to pot some up for future planting. Nope, stupid thing blooms yellow and even Janet didn't know it. I was proud I actually have discovered another pest that she couldn't ID - I love being on the cutting edge! I went out to piddle last night but got sidetracked and actually ended up working. I played with more rock. I finally got the rock edging in place for a new bed and the grass is finally dead so I can plant it. Several of the rocks were very large and I had to roll them to their location. My best garden friend, my cat, went every step of the way with me as I rolled them. She was exhausted after her hard work. I guess we are getting rain today so will have to search for something inside to keep me occupied. I know I won't have to search very hard. Brooke

Thanks, everyone. For those interested in Berma Abercrombie, she's been blooming already for about a week and would you believe I didn't even notice the buds until I looked at the photo? It's just one of those flowers I take for granted, and I shouldn't -- most cultivars don't get that kind of bud count here. Mantis, Mediterranean Sailor is a nice, large bloom that gets a fair amount of shade here, but I think it helps the color. While I like the look of Royal Renaissance, the performance hasn't been anything to brag about. It's in an area of the garden I don't pay much attention to, so I've just left it alone. Nat, I do like the pattern on Unfolding Paradox. It's an unusal shade of violet/purple that blooms a little later here, so it's appreciated.

Oh my goodnes she looks so lovely in her pinafore. You folks are killing me, I'm drowning in my own drool. I don't think I've seen one daylily today that I did't want (grin) Thanks for Sharing the photo. Marian AKA Lovely Iris email marianwinnsboro@hotmail.com

My aunt had this problem. She could hear the guy and whatever girl for the night "going at it". She went up there and told him "if I'm not getting any I don't want to hear you getting any". All jokes aside, do you feel comfortable enough talking to the upstairs neighbor? Is this happening every day?
