Hi everybody, I wish I was closer to you, I always wanted to start a small garden business, for me to clear the place out and start from new. Here in the south we have a long planting period, sometime we even plant new flowers in July and they would bloom till November. We had here almost two weeks of rain so my problem is everything is so lush and busshy, I have to start thining out. I wish I can grow peonies, but it is to hot for them. When I lived in Pa. they where very nice and 3 feet tall. The last peicture is my floating island, a City property, I had some larkspur in the Spring. Etelka
