Count down to Spring 2008/post your Spring pics!

Gloria....If I remember...it is Blackbeerry ripple. Tons of them did this!!

When I think of spring I think of forsythia and I don't even have any. I bought some little ones but the deer ate them :( I also love lilacs and I do have a couple of those but they are young. I LOVE the smell. I'd like to get some little sundrops or snowdrops.........the first to bloom in spring. I do have a lenten rose.

thanks sarv love it
Loon I have a forsythia that I wish I had not planted in front of a cypryse I dont think I can cut it out as I think the big hole it will leave will never grow in so every year I trim NO whack that bugger up!!!!!!!! you can have all the cuttings you can carrie away LOL
