Dd - you keep mislaying plants! What 'are' you up to? :~+

We moved three flower beds last winter took all the plants out, so some of the plants possibly did not make it, especially if they had died down, so that is why we are missing so many of them, wont be able to do too much to the garden now, must let it settle.the County Organizer told me not to buy any more plants..!! in front of OH too!!

I know 'exactly' how you're feeling, and we can chat about anything and everything nearer the time......if you'd like to, that is. I 'do' think it helped me, to chat to other 'openers'.
