If I had my way, there wouldn't be a lawn in our yard. It would all be flowers. We are planting more and more. I want to have some veggies too, but since the farmers markets here carry such wonderful produce, I don't think it is worth planting them. I'll stick with all sorts of flowers. I have a garden catalog that has plants that are never offered here and are for this zone. I have plants and flowers that no one else has!
Right now I have 24 Snow in Summer plants, 6 Missouri Evning Primroses, 3 Blue Sea Hollies, and 2 Bittersweet plants in my bathroom waiting to be planted. I am waiting on the weather to stay nice for more than 2 hours!
