About me: When I lived in Kalamazoo, I had beautiful gardens-roses especially, but also iris, peonies, poppies, wildflowers, hosta, black berries. When I moved to Texas, it all went away to the horrible clay soil, heat, which I can't take, and bugs that I couldn't seem to defeat.

My zone is: 8a TX
