I hate to be a itch, but, am I the only one with snow still on the ground
(and the gardens) ? I see some medians near the foundation and
they look horrid. The name-tags have heaved and it is impossible to push the
back in the frozen ground. My garden maps are hard to read since I never
plant anything in rows preferring the look of a border interspersed with
other plants.
Bill Shear wonderful report on his reticulatas was great and made me
wistful.
Still freezing here (altho' we had a Zone 4 winter not 3),
A grumpy Ellen who can't wait for Dallas so I can thaw out ;)
