Last Fall I offered an autographed packet of Wild Willy Columbine seeds to anyone who donated to the Cancer Society. After sending out the majority of the packets, I realized how foolish I would feel if I heard that there was any problem with the viability of the seeds so I chilled a packet and started then this spring. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.thegardenhelper.com/photo/columbpack.jpg) Now I was faced with the dilema of what do do with 60 Columbine plants.

The garden looks great Bill! What about the "Summer Sanctuary" since that is where the pool is, and also cuz of the 's' design of the Columbines. Willy and all his cousins can hang out there in the summertime, sitting by the pool, taking a swim every now and then, relaxing under the shade of the trees, and sunbathing on the rocks.

Wow, your Columbine garden looks terrific, Bill! Now I was faced with the dilema of what do do with 60 Columbine plants. All of my gardens are overflowing already..... Well, Bill, you could always send some to Illinois!

I think that garden looks like a place where fairies would like to live...and Willy would probably enjoy some cute little fairies to chase around!

I really like that curled shape, Bill! It's all so evenly spaced out too - well done! Are those solar lights in that garden too? I bet that looks really nice at night. Do you know if I can sow some columbine seeds here now, in zone 6 for next spring?

While Bill is here landscaping me an area like his Bus Stop (don't forget about that, Bill  ), he can, also, do me up a garden like that! Love it! Dianna

Wonderful garden. Mine aren't doing as well as yours but they did all sprout without a problem. I just always have a problem when I transplant.

thank you, weezie...i meant the name of the garden...not the fork, although you COULD name a fork if you really wanted to...... the space between the 2 remarks were SUPPOSED to show different parts, but don't fret-all is well!

i agree, the fork should be called cindy, and the garden should be fairy something. 'cause it is good enough for one.

So.... what else can I do to turn this into my Fairy Garden? ( plants, statuary etc.) I might have to send a surprise...something made of willow. My fairies love my little presents I make them out of my weeping willow twigs. the fork asked me to inform you that he is a boyfork. (Well.....I can't say here what I wanted to!)

Is it still in the same spot? I think (and hope, partially), that "Forkey" has been moved after almost 2 months... as much as I would like to believe he's still there...
