WNYwillieB, Wow, that is a serious squirrel problem. The fog has closed in this morning and more rain coming. I am not inspired to go out and work this morning.

Pixie, my son replaced the old jeep Cherokee with a truck for a few years, but when he moved to New Orleans, he bought a 2004 Jeep Cherokee. Mine had nearly 180 thousand miles which is a lot considering it spent many years on Nantucket going only a couple of miles at a time. I don't miss the big white blob in the drive. I must never buy another car than a gray or green one, so it fits into the landscape better. Nice tulips

Victor, great collection of shots. stunning maiden's hair fern shot. So sorry about your dead maple. Those plants under it look great, now. I assume they will cook if you don't do something. I just planted a Cotinus Grace, how big is yours and do you prune it?

Redchic, I so want a wisteria, but unless I can grow a one as a tree, I don't dare. Anyone growing a one shaped as a standard?
I will look for one when I am off island next week.

onewish1, great collection of heuchera etc and the hummer is so special to have. They do come to Nantucket, but not yet to my house, ever. I keep putting out the feeders and hoping.

Wha, your garden is more perfect every day, but in one picture I saw a dandelion....for culinary purposes, I must assume. I am most impressed that you are growing Japanese Maples from see. You will need to go into the business or buy more property soon.

Candyce, I can't believe the black flies are bad already. Nice clump of Lupines which I adore and can't seem to grow ever, just like I kill oriental poppies.

stormyla, great shot of the rare "tire topiary" too funny. Your bulb show in the bulb forum has been spectacular.

schickenlady, your seed growing is beyond impressive. My seed efforts this year have been horrible. When do you start selling them?

debilu, tree peony looks good. How tall does it get?

nutsfordaylily, went back again this morning to look at you photo's. Such a beautiful spot. I have only been there once. Must go again and soon.

The ground here is so soft from all the rain, that our dear old Clarence fell over. Patti
