It would be a deal breaker for me as well. Wrong tree for a number of reasons. Talk to the nursery first.

Some things are priced beyond belief. When in town for a Stratford Festival show, I stopped at a chocolate shop for an ice-cream cone. It was $5.60...

Never planted them until this year and they are lovely and such a variety of colours as a border plant.

Yay, one Monarch today! I went to hang out my laundry and found it stuck between the screen and glass of my patio door. i huffed and puffed until I...

That does happen, doesn't it?

Never having grown larkspurs, I looked them up. Do they actually grow up to 6-8 feet?

I agree that this is the best. I had a similar sense of emotional parting with my dental patients (some of whom I still run into) when DH's job...

I agree, too much info being shared. I would not advise them who to contact unless you have a request in writing from the sup to do so. It is his...

That is a great milestone. Well done!

Wishing you all good results.

Really pleased for you!

Don't go back to the same mess. Something has to change - you or the situation. The sup does not run the show.

This point has come up in thought at different times in my life. I remember reading about the system that some North American indigenous groups...

Good to hear

Lovely, IL.

No offence intended, just amused. Sorry.

Thanks for the feedback. Isn't Joe Pye weed really tall?

Finally I have an idea of what you were talking about when you mentioned large water troughs. Very effective and attractive!

Your efforts are impressive and motivating! Finally cleared out the old DVD and all the controls, some china ornaments, unused oven gloves to...

Thank you. I lived on a clay base for 25 years so had limits on what would grow well. This garden is a new adventure with gravel as a base. This...

Wishing you well!

When I had another look, I realized that this is a picture of your cottage garden. Are you spending a lot of time there to keep everything so green?

My clematis, calendulas, tomatoes, beans and garlic are doing very well. The trees and shrubs are happy as well. I am trying a different approach...

There is so much of the US political and social thinking that I have not been party to so appreciate reading thoughtful commentary such as this. I...
