Oh, and a large dirt mound, but you have to peek around the corner to see that one. I also love the big pile o' tags-- I made a concerted effort to label and baggie all of my seed packages because otherwise... yeah.<BR/><BR/>I bet you get lots of butterflies in your yard. That has to be super rewarding :Dhanako!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02775675834293971760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352368766184306331.post-2301185181302380322008-04-01T13:07:00.000-05:002008-04-01T13:07:00.000-05:00Yeah, but we sold that house in November *cries*.....Yeah, but we sold that house in November *cries*...I don't really miss that house, except that I'll miss the big yard and beautiful gardens...I won't miss MOWING that big yard mind you, but I will miss watching Gracie eat raspberries off the bush, and the dogs chasing moles...*sigh* our yard is dinky now, but I'm sure Shell will make what he have look pretty.ron st.amanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07288644705112802454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352368766184306331.post-87700365577410446952008-03-28T18:31:00.000-05:002008-03-28T18:31:00.000-05:00Ron - Thanks!

And your yard was quite pretty last summer, and with Shell around, I'm sure she'll work miracles this summer, too. :)<BR/><BR/>Lee - Great slackers slack alike? ;)<BR/><BR/>Pam - Thanks! I love hanging out on the back deck from November through April, but it does get too hot in the summer since it's closed on three sides. But I should have a great view from the front porch after the next few months, since landscaping the front yard is my next project. Lots of sun for roses! And I confess that when I forget plant names, I tend to wander around your or MSS's blogs to see if I can find whatever plant I've forgotten the name of. ;)<BR/><BR/>Diana - Hee! I do that too. We're so sneaky. <BR/><BR/>Jenn - I would have thought lantana too, except all of my lantana dies back to the ground in the winter and this is evergreen. Ah, well, whatever it is, the butterflies still love it. Also, I need to try this photo album idea of yours. It sounds like something that even a slacker like me could keep up with. And I imagine that you could stick index cards in with the plant tags for any extra notes you wanted to make. Thanks for the idea!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233060833186241702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352368766184306331.post-47046294422091490922008-03-25T12:07:00.000-05:002008-03-25T12:07:00.000-05:00I think your verbena is a lantana.

I do manage to get them into a recycled ziplock bag, which tidies them quite a bit. <BR/><BR/>In my last garden, I had photo albums - you can find ones with a closed bottom to the sleeve and these are great for slipping in the plant tags, although I did need to snip the angle off the bottom for fit - this garden, however, is all in pots (we are renting) and I haven't gotten that organized. <BR/><BR/>There. How's that for sentence structure? yeesh.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597630887713954960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352368766184306331.post-12914828173995928892008-03-24T23:01:00.000-05:002008-03-24T23:01:00.000-05:00I don't - that's why I'm going to keep coming back...I don't - that's why I'm going to keep coming back to your blog to read your comments!!! No - I JUST started to keep a notebook - I'm just going to jot down what I bought and where it went - roughly. We'll see how long I can keep that up or whether or not it's actually useful. Cross your fingers. Your back patio view is lovely, as are the collections of pots scattered about.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352368766184306331.post-44536767385129947892008-03-24T22:38:00.000-05:002008-03-24T22:38:00.000-05:00Your garden looks so nice.

I bet it is pleasant to sit on the deck eating breakfast and admiring everything.<BR/><BR/>I don't keep my plant tags, but I do write the botanical name and expected size in a notebook along with a quick note about where I planted it. If I'm smart I blog about it, which helps me remember.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352368766184306331.post-1064391845601738812008-03-24T21:34:00.000-05:002008-03-24T21:34:00.000-05:00Hahaha! - I LOVE the pile of tags you have there! ...Hahaha! - I LOVE the pile of tags you have there!
