I am so excited for spring FINALLY to be here!!  YIPPEE!!!
I am planting flowers every where, and it makes me so happy!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am asked all the time what is my favorite planting, and

I am going to start out with a challenge for all you gardeners!!..........


Try to do something a bit more inventive than a vinca, geranium and a spike!! ......


There is so much more easy care and excitement out there!!! Really!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is an idea to try:
How about Golden bells Lysmachia for the trailing part....
Pink and orange profusion zinnias ( THey are awesome!)
and a tropicanna canna for the center.... WOW... WOW ... WOW what a knockout combination!!
add in a sun coleaus or two and you really have a trafficstopper!! .....
~~~~~~~~~~~~
What are some combinations that you might try this year? Let me know how it works!!....

Got to go ... the birds are singing and the day is Started!! hee hee

Hi Vanessa, we were just talking about when we were going to get together! Now with summer fast approaching it may get harder to find days that work into all our schedules. We'll just have to make it work right?!
You sound like a super BUSY camper alright! I hope you have a great weekend at the store!!
Come on EVERYBODY, plant something will ya!!
