I'm changing part of an established garden and using the proper lasanga method this time. If the newspaper method + mulch doesn't kill of the bermudagrass I'm getting out the big guns this spring!

With less Blogging for me lately, I too have had to really make it a point to look at the dates! Nov 15 tells me to pay our property taxes which I did remember this year but forgot to pay the boat taxes last year until a few days later. Thank goodness our county had an extension in paying Taxes last year or I would have been in big trouble with the Saint. LOL. I almost missed my Mammogram last week as I did not look at the calendar. Luckily, they called to remind me….<br /><br />Your colors are beautiful and yes, before you know it, our gardens will be going strong again.

Remind me next spring to plant some, I always forget how cold-hardy it is.<br />Your shade garden needs some Geranium maculatum for a little color zing now.

I recently forgot a friends birthday (shame on me)......she understood, she is a good and valued friend.<br /><br />I adore Heuchera. Sadly I cannot use it here. Rabbits love it and so does the dreaded vine weevil. I have both, so it is a definate 'NO'. I always enjoy seeing the beautiful foliage on yours.<br /><br />Nepeta is a wonderful plant. You have listed it's charms. I have dozens of plants dotted around the garden, bees love it.<br /><br />AND last on your list is the wonderful hellobores. Top of my list of favourites. I have just ordered some new varieties. My obsession grows. If there is one thing I love about the winter months is the anticipation of the blooms shyly showing themselves.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-7310122355339849602010-11-16T23:33:44.380-06:002010-11-16T23:33:44.380-06:00Beautiful!
