Ok susie... got more questions for ya..is the drive on the southside of that garden, and if I'm placing it correctly, it would be the 30ft side of the garden? Got a ruff sketch and wanna get directions correct before I begin...lol. And are your plant files up to date? ( I know mine aren't...naughty me). Have you had a chance to go through your seed pressis yet? I'm sure I had already sent some of those to you in earlier trades so if their are duplicates that you want to throw into the seed trade is ok with me!! If not you may have to dig up all that grass in the above pix.....

Hey pam, make a note, I'd love to trade for some of your Allium, they are a light lavender and are very pretty, you did say they reseed? I've been meaning to add some to the garden and keep forgetting. Also wanna get the ones that are a steel blue in color, Allium azureum, 24", June. I had at another garden and will replace one of these days, lol, (ya...sure). LOL. I'm still wanting A. Globemaster at 36", and 10" blooms of purple, but if I remember correctly it's sterile and the bulbs are about $7-10 each. Yikes... Am thinking tho that Alliums might be a good investment here as they smell of onion and the deer would be repelled....Guess that's why I need to grow a bunch of that nictotiana. lol.

Pix is Dianthus grationopolitanus (what a mouth full, say that one 3 times as fast as you can), Bath's Pink or sometimes referred to Cheddar Pinks, 6-8", spring only (occasionaly a few later), and smell divine, silvery blue foliage and mat forming. I had one that got to about 36" wide, so far mine are about 18-24" wide. I've read that they can be started from a sprig put into soil and rooted, I should give that a try this winter and see how long it takes as it would be faster than from seed again.
