Yes Bobbie, the ditch is in front of the pink tree. It's about 8 ft deep and just getting to hard for me to mow. Carol, thanks about the hutch..it was so cheap we couldn't resist buying it. I love when people re-do their houses and sell the old items at a bargain. The birdhouse is from the dollar store and it's base is an oak spindle I got for a $1 at the hardware store because one end was damaged. Gave them a coat of stain that matches my step and away I go. ~~Tam~ You can bury all your troubles by digging in the dirt.

Thanks for the reminder of the wonder egg threads. I haven't grown any in a few years. It's too late to start any from seeds here now, but I'm glad you found a plant with "egg" on it already! Carol - such bright and pretty flowers. Any excuse to buy flowers is a good one! Sheri - great idea to have a container side. Most of my plants need to be grown in pots this year because of all the critters that have been eating away.

I can't believe that iris is blooming. I've never had one bloom in winter and I'll bet if Lowe's had known that those Gerber's were going to look this good this far into the year they wouldn't have put them on sale.

I bought it 2 years ago, I think, and it hasn't done well at all. First I planted it in the ground and it almost totally died. I moved it to another spot in the ground. Didn't improve. I dug it up and planted it in this pot. It hardly grew all spring and summer. It's been in the greenhouse but as you can see it looks pitiful. Any ideas?

Looks a bit sunburned to me, Sheri - when you get red leaves like that it often is sunburn. My hydrangeas out front wilt in the morning sun but perk back up when the sun moves around to the other side of the house during summer.

When I first planted it I put it in semi shade and watered it daily for a while. Left it one whole season. Didn't grow an inch and started looking pitiful. Someone told me that it was getting too much sun so I moved it to a shadier location and watered. Still looked pitiful. Then I put it in a pot so I could make sure it was getting enough moisture. As you can see it's still pitiful. I think this spring I'll stick it back in the ground and let nature take it's course.
