been super busy with school and the house, not to mention 5 kids, so things got away from me. I have more breathing space these days and I am diligently working on my gardens.

Welcome back!

Hi, Sherry. Welcome back. We're so glad you're here. Tell us your plans for your gardens this year.

I have well and truly run out of space. I've been saying that for years, but now I really mean it. I'm currently viewing my garden with a highly discerning eye, looking for things to dig up and discard. I think the mock orange will be the first to go. It's seen better days and I never did like the scent. I'd rather have three roses in that space.

Welcome back, Sherry.

I am still in the process of getting the beds dug at my new house. Last year I was most concerned with getting things moved from the old house and put into the ground here that I have a hodge podge. This year I am working with a master plan (meaning it is supposed to look like the magazine but won't)

I ordered a lot of Austins this year and decided to over the next couple of years to remove all the old shrubs on the side and just have a rose border.

Zuzu do you think your neighbors would notice if you moved the fence over a little?

Sherry those magazine pictures are staged with professional flowers - not reproducible.
