Laurie ...
I used to think I was a methodical and very organized person. That was true in my former life as an accountant in the city. I can honestly tell you that is not true in my life in the mountains as a fairly new gardener. There is nothing organized about how I garden. It's amazing to me that nothing I have planted has died.
I am so very grateful plants have this stubborn will to live. In my garden, I do not have enough shade for the heucheras I love. They get sun scorched. I'll never be able to have as many as I would love to grow. That's why they are tucked away in that one spot that gets tended to last. As much as I love them, that's the one part of the garden that has shade ...
I'd love to grow blue fescue, too, but I have a hunch it would fry in my heat.
Gardening is certainly an adventure ...
