Good day all,
It has been pouring rain all morning...oh well it is so good for the plants...

Redtootsiepop, your gardens are where I am heading...lol I love them, I have a few questions about plants...one I remember is what is the little red and white flower in the picture with the pink tubular flowers? I think while at all the nurserys and garden shops yesterday, I have talked DH into letting me put in some new areas....oh my I can't wait!

Here are the things I purchased from the list
Liriope, variegated Vinca, Ajuga - 2 varieties, Kinnikinnick, Rock Cress - 3 varieties, a blue fescue and a couple of low sedges. But some of the sages jumped in my cart as did some poppies, penstemon, a white foxglove among some others. Really to many to mention and to many to remember. Remembering them is more like it. I just picked up what I liked. I ended up getting some pinks because I love them in the front of the bed and I took all of mine up when we down sized the gardens. I only spent $172.00 but I did get 2 new soaker hoses too. I went to 3 nurseries looking for the verbena to no avail, they all had annual only...I am for sure going to find that one ASAP. It has so many memories tied to it that I had forgotten until I saw that picture of it.

I wish I could go out and put them in now but it is sporatically pouring and only 50 degrees, my aching bones does not allow me out much in that kind of weather...unless I really want to pay for it. So I will stay inside and do the laundry and clean until another sunny day.

I really enjoyed this thread, all of your help and such a warm welcome has really rekindled a love of gardening I had to shelf for so many years.

Here's a view of part of the front yard. I have clematis montana, peonias, iris, and sun rose flowers even in the front.

Thanks again, Carla
