Hi Neal, well I found it. I've been meandering though the cubits, lost my way several times.
I'm Sharon. I live in the Zone 6 caused by the lake effect in Michigan. Still our winters are not nice, we have hardly any snow cover with cold weather. I live on a suburban lot with no fence. I've been in love with daylilies for almost 8 years now. They make up the main part of my gardens. However, I'm moving toward a more balanced garden. I love starting plants from seed and hope to have more patience for growing the perinneals from seed.
Please keep Val here with us.
Val, can you take pictures of your shrub gardens. I do need help with shrubs in my garden and I see you are in OH, I'm a neighbor to your north. :o) So hopefully our zones are close enough that I won't have to worry about the plants you suggest won't survive here.
If you don't mind the intrusion, I'd love to delve into your knowledge of 'shrubs on a small lot'.
