I just have one question for you after reading

Quoting:How the heck do you keep your children from destroying your gardens???? My kids trampled down any and every plant I put in my backyard except the Oak tree when they were little! lol Now I keep them out of the garden because they are afraid I will ask them to help! Nothing worse than helping mom unload 40 lb. bags of soil and compost!

Are my kids at your house????? ROFL! I keep finding tools and silverware and various things out back when I dig...."man! I was wondering where that was!!" Ben the youngest helps the most, and he will carry a 1cf bag to the back and really show up those teenagers, lol! It is more than half his weight! He studies butteflies with me. I think he has checked out every bird and insect book in the Library at his school..
This Coleus will be big very soon.. There are also several herbs that come back every year in this spot. There is a big red Peony I planted the root about 4 years ago.. Looks like it might actually bloom for the first time!! Gardening will definatly teach us the value of waiting.
