Lily, It does look pretty. But look, there is a Salvia trying to live in there and a painted daisy. I dug it out last year and the year before. It has been worse than bishop's weed to get rid of for me. It does make you feel like a mole. I have dug my pond up 2 years in a row and will have to do it again this year. I have to dig under the liner to get the roots. I have dug down over 12" and it still finds it's way back. This year I have a better plan. I'm going to move everything else and take it on all summer. I will sink a barrier to keep it out of my shade garden at the back of the pond. I hope I will keep it out of my shade garden anyway.

The Nora Barlow is a tender plant for me as well. I have to buy seed every few years and start over. My other Columbine seem hardier than Nora Barlow for some reason. I had 6 of them in 2012 and only 1 in 2013. If I didn't buy seed this year and start it I may not have any this year. It's my favorite Columbine. I wish it was hardier.

You ask how I remember all my plants. lol I didn't! I have 6 Buddleia. I love the smell of them. I love plants and flowers. I will give almost any plant a try at least once. I have a ditch line for anything I don't care for. I hate riding the mower along the ditch line. I'm fixing that one outcast at a time. lol

Celene, Your Welcome! I hate that some thief would come on your porch and steal your plants. I don't miss living in the city. I would go buy a hunting game camera and put it on your porch. It would only take pictures when something triggers it. They take great night picture's. Then you could help them go were they need to go! Of course if you have luck like me they might steal the camera. lol

Lily gave me my Daturas seeds. I have never grown them before. I'm excited to see how I do with them. I'll share the progress of them once there is something to show.
Purple People Eater is a great name.

Mippii, Thank You!

Pam, Good Luck! I don't cut my garden back in the Fall. I only cut back my Paeonia and Iris in the fall. That may be why it reseeds well.

Here are some more pictures. I'm tired of winter and miss my garden really bad.
Picture 1 Cerulean Star daylily with Liatris and many other daylily's.
Picture 2 Another plant I forgot! lol Silphium perfoliayum cup plant
