Hi Kirby!

Hello all....this is such a great website. Its like everything I need at one place, so much to view and read.

Nice shot, Kirby! Please join in on the threads. Participation is the key!

Great house Kirby.. I love all the windown.. and even a skylight in that room... There's nothing like overhead sky.. do you bring lots inside for the winter.. or do you keep it for yourself.. beautiful garden also.. ...but let me tell you I have every weed.. every nursery within 100 miles has ever had.. they've sold them as a rider with some plant... and it blows in here.. I'm only at about 60' elevation.. like a small hill.. and the animals.. theyy plant everything they get up here.. I remove about a pound of peanuts every year.. these the bushey tailed rats get given to them in the park.. they come up to me knowing my planters will heat up and thaw out a month before the ground.. for an easy late witer awakening feast.... and oat trees.. growing out of lots of planters.. and I can't even see an oak tree from up on the roof.. and everything they want to drop flying over... or stop here to eat... and I grow morning glories.... what other weed get to come in and try to overgrow everything worse that a garden that has had morning glories growing for years plus every bug and disease these merchants of evil sell as well... a few years ago I was complementing the fates as I was sure the 162* F roof would surely preclude slugs.. boy was i wrong.. they have their moist cool and dark decaying food stocked microclime underneath the planters.. although I've not run into many this year..
Keep up the good fight there... love the pictures... never met a garden I didn't like
the picture is of the thin brug planter .. and the start of the plane extending up to be the morning glory sail... the far end from the planter is where this plane intersects the night blooming cereus planter ... it likes it in the morning glories... it enjoys it on the shady side... and is slow to acclimate to the sun on being put out... it likes a long time in the shade cloth.... this year I pushed it early into somecloudy days... and went a long way to fry it brown... but it's green on the other side and the edges are sporting these flowers... just as well you not see it's actual leaves

GordonHawk,
I have always admired your gardens and diligence in carrying all those plants up the stairs.What a great get away !

kirbyk,
I love your garden layout as well.Beautiful setting !!! I just stared at your picture again and
noticed that if someone really had an imagination they would think you have a angel in your garden...hahaha....look at the picture where your yellow flowers are towards the right slightly above there is what looks like a little head with black hair and little wings.
OR what is that what I see ?

Thanks Gordon.... the solarium is great in the winter.. not so much in the summer. It faces west and the afternoon sun is brutal. I planted to shade poplars right behind and that helps. Even with two tons of air, somedays with the vertical blinds closed it still heats up to the 90's. But... in the winter the cats love laying in the sunbeams and it heats the whole house. We are trying th sell and move to a larger and more promising property. You can see more pictures of the house at 4238Dickersonville.com I love your morning glory sail. Thats sooooo cool. Eglantyne... I see what you mean about the 'angel'. I dont know what the head is (looks like its got eyes) but thats a smoke tree. Well got to go to work. run run run.....

Maria - good to hear from you. It's not a list of people invited to the Northeast forum. It's just a list of members who want their names posted. Would you like to have your name added to the list? It lists your screen name, real name and state you live in. If you want your's added let me know and I'll be glad to do it!! I don't want you to think this is an exclusive list - it's for anyone and everyone!! Eleanor

Thank you Eleanor, that would be very nice if you added my name that is actually Maria.
