I love the New Guinea impatiens. I've finally found a perfect spot for them that never dries out completely, as they like so much water. I've...
Thanks for the tips, Trudy. I plan to use a pre-emergent this spring and will keep my fingers crossed!
We're lucky enough to have them in our neck of the woods too. They never stay too long after they have their babies, but we sure enjoy them while...
Hi from NE Wisconsin where we're digging out from yesterday's storm.
Trilliums grow wild here in our zone 4...they like morning sun (not afternoon sun) and need good drainage. They grow great in my sandy, acidic soil.
Looks like you have a good camera...those are great shots. Thanks for sharing.
Makes me want spring!!! Trilliums grow wild around us in woodland areas, and I've planted several varieties, mostly grandiflora. I love your...

Cody and I thank you for your comments! We just got back inside after playing on the ice and snow. I have to be more careful now that he's...
The cold weather and wind today dried up a lot of our puddles. In fact, I just got back from ice-skating and it was great. The rain we've had...
Thanks for the pics at this time of year when we all need a lift. I've got a lot of lilies (both Asiatic and Oriental), too, and I love them. Do...
Looks about the same here in NE Wisconsin. We've had rain for 3 days now, along with fog. Most of the snow is gone, the snowmobile trails have...
I'm green with envy. We're dealing with rain and slop on top of the snow now. Pretty unusual at this time of year...it sure would be great if...
Hi and welcome from NE Wisconsin. Do you have any snow left up there? We've had rain for 3 days now, and most is gone now. It's pretty dreary...
