Suzy, Thanks so much. The lupines and foxglove I started from seed last year are just starting to bloom in the arbor bed. I'll post an updated photo in a couple of days. I guess I'll have to try your tulip method since mine almost never come back the second time.

Meredith, I started the cleome seeds indoors in one of those little portable greenhouse units. They're basically just a set of shelves on wheels with a plastic cover. I just use window light and no extra heating pads etc. and have had pretty good luck.

In the photos I posted earlier in this thread you might have noticed the split-rail fence in the background. It's been an ongoing project of mine for several years now and I added another section this spring. It's made from locust trees I cut and split on my property. Here's a couple photos of this years addition.
