Pony, I agree with the dracenia analysis. Bigger pots, or the garden itself and they should perk right up. I love them when they are little as fillers in my pots, and then kick them out into the garden when they get bigger. I have had some get huge, and they add a wonderful tropical efffect to the garden. I have lost quite a few over harsh winters, but they grow quickly, so can be easily replaced if that happens. Great that you will be able to make the roundup...it should be a wonderful time!

Judi, It's wonderful to see more of your garden...it is just lovely! I especially like the flagstone path with the stepables...beautiful!

Bea, Your goldfinch is just adorable again! And the frog whirlygig....grin! I am glad that the cutter bees are just building nests and will not chew your leaves that way all summer. You could almost forgive them for having good taste in nesting material!

RC, Your weed patch is very pretty...especially compared to knotweed! Your kitty looks so happy in there as well. Isn't it funny how they slow down as they get older, and then all of the sudden have a flash of kitten/puppy hit them?

Didn't spend much time in the yard last night. My evening chore of replacing a sprinkler head and staking another one came to a screeching halt when I realized that not only the head was bad, but the funny pipe attaching it was split as well, and I needed parts/glue/more time to fix that, so I gave up and went up to Mom's to hang out and be lazy.

Did get a pic of my latest iris to open....Sweet Ballerina
