Debby! Thank you so much for my halloween box! I love it all, most especially the sweet note. You and I have been having similar weather and doing the same things with our days. I am getting a few beds rearranged before the bad weather hits and taking advantage of these beautiful warm days! Deb Sent... Oktoberfest Iris (a brilliant orange bloom) Parrot Tulips (creamy base that has deep pink/peach tips) Red Magic Daylily Red Tulips Black Prince Snapdragon Seeds (Gorgeous! I will definitely be wintersowing these!) Gypsy Queen Hyacinths Queen of the Night Tulips The kids loved the metal spider basket and the Planet Earth Books! They are bugging me to go pick up some candy to fill the basket and confiscated the books as soon as I pulled them out of the box. lol. They'll have to wait on the candy till they work for it going door to door. :o) You made my day with all the bulbs. Mine disappeared on me. Dug up the one bed to re-do the border and divided the bulbs and only found one sad little bulb in all that dirt I sifted through. Thank you so much for everything. I will be planting like a happy little gardener tomorrow. Good luck with your bed by the mailbox. My neighbor across the street has her's surrounded by a stone border and has lots of lamb's ear, alliums, tulips, and some type of mounding grass. It looks great every year even with the snow plows dumping heavy snow and spreading salt in the winter. So Ta DA! One more masquerading petal pusher has been revealed! Thank you Vic, this has been a blast!

Thanks for all your hard work Karen! Can't wait to read it in its entirety. Jodi-

I've watched them all at least once. I like OC and NY. Hate to get drawn into NJ ( quite a different NJ that I grew up in ) and Atlanta. We all wonder about what was left on the editing room floor , but Vicky's put her efforts into her business and is very successful. 24 hours in a day doesn't leave much for other things. At the end of last season , I didn't think Vicky would be back. Perhaps it's time for her to enjoy her life more privately. Tamra has been a spoiled child since she joined the show. Her mouth opens too easily before her brain does. She says she's learned a lot but I haven't seen any change in her. Alexis seems to spout the marriage line but I can't agree that the lips and body she loves is that great ..or her personality. Her dress line leaves a lot to be desired. I'd hate to think my friends or acquaintances have nothing more to do than gossip.
