I love the 8 acres...beyond our acres there isn't anything but fields and fields of corn and beans. I like to call it Podunk!! :) Karen...last year I did do a pumpkin patch. I actually had four large square gardens. One was pumpkin...one was strawberries...one was corn...and then the other was just a variety of veggies. cAROL....I am indeed very blessed. As well I've been married to the man who thinks I'm a nerd for almost 16 years now! My girls are 14,13,5 and 4! So indeed old enough to help! My younger two love helping me in the flower bed. They get just as excited as I do when the flowers come up or start to bloom! I'll definitely be doing all the veggies again this year! As far as plans go I've been graphing out flower beds and have already warned my man that he'll be doing lots of tilling!! I'm very excited about all those jugs out there!! I love being outdoors and look forward to being able to plant them! The only down point about living in the middle of no where is not having any local nurseries. I've had such bad luck last year ordering from those online nursery companies. Thank all of you for such a warm welcome! :)

Thanks again for the comments and compliments, everyone. I looked up Cherokee Sunset on Bluestone's site, and I guess I DO have my plants labeled correctly. I have a lot of different-looking Cherokee Sunsets, and that's actually correct. They're short-lived perennials, and this is year 2 for them. Will they come back, do you think? Remy, that is your Salvia, and your Veronica! Thanks for posting here! Last year I used very short labels, and lost several. I'm glad to know the name of the Veronica. Brandymulvaine: I keep trying delphinium, but it does not seem to like my yard. Hmm, my yard is sandy and dry, maybe that's why! I do keep amending, so maybe they'll take hold sometime. I'll try the seeds you recommend next time. I have sea holly just starting to bloom, and I think I'll move it in with the allium and yellows. The roundish blue flowers will mirror the allium! How cool is that?

The bonus is very good. In fact, they ask you for bonus suggestions, and then when they get your order, they will actually tell you what bonus ones they will ship! They also give you a delivery confirmation and approx date. If the rhizome is a bit undersized, they send you 2 for the price of one. I have gotten rhizomes from other growers smaller than some of these 'undersized' rhizomes. As for the size, they are not huge, but definitely large enough to bloom. As rebel44 pointed out, West Coast raised iris rhizomes are bigger, but not necessarily better. Laetitia

Paula, I think the decision to overhaul the "jungle" was the catalyst. The Hostaholic was already buried deep inside me. Just needed some freshly tilled dirt to come out and spread its roots through my bank account. I am not new to botanical addictions though. My other passion is orchids and I have about 80 cultivar in a room upstairs under grow lights. It is a 3 year old collection and also growing. We can't afford real food in my house so we eat fertilizer and perlite . . . kidding . . . well maybe not after I get all the Hosta I have my heart set on. I have not "been" to Hallson's since I am in PA but I did call Chris the other day to see when the earliest was I could place my spring order. He was so delightful and courteous I felt so bad I kept him on the phone for like an hour just basking in his knowledge (I am full of questions as we all know by now). It was awesome talking to him. I will def be placing an order . . . and then another one . . . and another. I can't imagine actually going there in person. I would probably suffer mild cardiac arrest upon entering just at the sight. Your Fire and Ice is awesome btw !!! I am sure in time I will come to own one of those as well but I am a bit scared with my inexperience to tackle a fussy little guy like that at the moment. We will see how things go with Cascades first. Babka - I am already making arrangements to talk to the neighbors and see if I can rip all that Liriope out of the lower part of our side porch to make more room for Hosta since my garden is going to be filling up quick with all these giants. Was thinking about putting some of the spreading types that HH was mentioning to help with erosion control since as we all know it is much more pleasant to look at Hosta than Liriope IMO. Alexis - yeah I am a sucker for the big variegated types. I notice this when deciding what I want and am trying to balance it out with more characteristic solids. My whole thing with Guardian is I want to be able to see that beautiful spring variegation all year and the virescence would almost be like a tease as I watch the colors fade. Same goes with Warpaint. I forgot to mention in the earlier post: Raspberry Sundae Lionheart These two are also in the spring order list. Raspberry for the variegation and red petioles. Lionheart since it came recommended by Chris as a solid white leaf grower. Thanks again everyone for sharing, Ludi

Happy Easter to everyone! and a Happy Passover too!

My father in law is visiting for the weekend so it will just be a few of us but I plan on doing a little easter egg hunt for my 2 year old. She loved the one we did with our playgroup so I'm taking advantage and doing it again. :)

I'll be working on my books, hopefully, tomorrow night. :)

Happy holiday to all of you! I'm cooking dinner after church for the 4 of us, my mom, and my aunt and uncle. I don't know how this works--I'm the only one who works, yet I always wind up doing the holiday meals....maybe, because my house is bigger? Anyway, my kids are grown, but I may make them hunt Easter eggs anyway. No grandbabies yet, but Bailey, the peke, might like boiled eggs..he eats anything!
Since the kids have been grown, all our holiday pictures consist of everyone asleep on the sofa, loveseat, recliner, etc. after dinner. My goal this Easter is to keep them awake long enough to get a good family picture! Wish me luck! Have a happy day!

My hubby's a firefighter and on duty tomorrow, too! Our two dd's (2 years and 7 months) and I are going to his parents' house after church to have Easter dinner with the family. The out-of-town family is going to be here as well. Four of the six sibs will be there (although the missing sibs wives are bringing their kids.) All 10 grandchildren will be there, too. They are ages 12, 11, 11, 9, 8, 5, 2, 7 months, 4 months and 3 months. They have a small house so it's gonna be loud- should be an early afternoon for my two little ones! :) Gotta love 'em.

We'll also go to the "fire shashun and sit on the fudgerin" as my 2-year-old says it. :) ("fire station and sit on the fire engine.") Can't miss seeing Daddy on Easter Sunday! I'll be sure to get lots and lots of pictures with both my digital and regular cameras since he won't be there for the party at his parents' house.

I hope everybody has a blessed Easter!

We weren't planning on having any get-together for Easter, but we had an impromptu fish fry--my husband's spur of the moment party planning--typical. So the yard was full of people eating fish and fishing in our little pond out in the back yard. I took lots of photos. (Yes, Janie, he just had to try out that fish cooker we spotted in the back of his truck the other day. HA!)
