Thanks everyone for the nice comments on my bed of shame. It definately gets some new flowers next spring! It hasn't had any attention since I had to dig the entire Tulip Bed to get rid of the quackgrass. And I did!

Suzy one word. Beautiful!!!! I love the fountain. I don't know if ordinary grey spray paint would work or not.

Murmer, I love Mike's garden. You made me smile. I was going to jump you about the ashtray. (I quit 10 years ago in May.)

Justfurkids, I agree, find a place! I love it!

Fancy, a very fancy sundial. I love the brilliant petunias setting it off!

Jude, laugh, DH always offers to get me a tiller. I always say ''that's OK, it's my exercise. Course, I'm 49 now and a tiller sounds pretty nice! I love practical gifts.

Wgnkiwi, Before and after are exciting and I envy you your clean slate!

We had perfect rains this year and my flowers did better than they ever did. My roses even rebloomed and I didn't think they would. I buy fertilizer, but get sidetracked and forget to use it. I am getting better since I joined Dave's.

This is an old plastic birdbath DH spray painted. The paint stays on if it isn't rubbed.
