Yes, your Mother can come too. I have already given away Prospero, but the others are still available. As for why they are going..they are lovely, but I am just running out of room, and I have more roses coming...Ashdown just sent me an e-mail they shipped eight more, yesterday. Some of the Austins are in 15 gallon pots...Perdita, and Glamis Castle for sure...Charles Austin, is planted in the ground, but it isn't huge, it should be fairly easy to dig up.
The Porcelain Vine is the solid green...
The Alfalfa that you have is enough to feed my roses, once...I have a lot of them, so I will need more. You will see, when you get here...
I don't think I want to trade for any more roses, I have had to become very picky.
What day were you thinking of coming? I have friends who say they will be there Saturday, and others that won't be able to be there until Sunday, so either day is fine with me. (I haven't mentioned this to my DH, he won't be happy, oh well! The roses will be pruned, that is what matters) My back has been bothering me, and I just can't do it all myself....
So please, if you can make it, do. Where does your Mother live, in Denton? I am right off University and Bonnie Brae, you can see my house from University...I have been told, that once you get within sight of it, you don't need directions....I have way more plants, than most people. I showed a picture to my DH once of the backyard, and asked him where he though it was, (meaning where in the backyard was it taken) and he said, 'I don't know, Costa Rica?' He isn't much of a fan of flowers, poor man, and he hates the water bill, in the summer. But he does admit that our yard is often, the prettiest yard, around..and I smugly, have to agree. Not now though, because it is way out of hand.
I have really liked the green ladder supports, they work, with so many things.


Linda I really hope that you can make it. I am hoping that some of the members of my garden club are going to be there, and they are great at giving advice of beautifying your yard. I call my yard, a plant zoo, there has been no plan, other than cramming as much in, as I could.

Did I mention there will be Cake! (I know, I am obsessed_
