Good morning, I'm off to plant a cool woodland garden around a beautiful patio we just build. Hops are terrible. They can be deep rooted. Sweet woodruff is a pain but shallow rooted and you can sit on your but and pick away at it. Hops is a work out you need to stand and putt hard it is like a rope you can't break it it is bad. I would highly advise not in a nice garden bed. Enjoy from afar. It suck pulling it out of plants it goes around since it twines so tightly you can break other branches I can't burn the taxus hedge it is in or the cornus or the cyperus,. The thought was pretty purple and gold which is does look nice for those few weeks of the bloom but after that bad news. I spent week tearing it out of another beautiful garden and was told don't plant it. I wish I would have listened.

As far as this year I have cool stuff coming from San Marcos ( California) Xera (Portland) And 2 nurseries 1 in Japan and 1 in China oh And intersectional peonies from Canada. I have no focus and am truly ill. I need your help.

I am drugging up and going to the flower show. I haven't been to Seattle since the 80's. I'm bringing Tory and Susan for back up. I need to go and see my friend Susan has done a display garden I think it is going to be great. I loaned her plants and My friend Asha is bringing is beautiful stone temple light. I think I can do it. I will have to leave my poor Butter home. I have never done that. I need therapy. This is Butter
