Got this Email this week ...thought I would share...


   this is an Army soldier in Iraq with his tiny 'plot' of grass in front of his tent. It's heartwarming! Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq, stationed in a big sand box. He asked his wife to send him dirt (U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the sweet aroma, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet. When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil -- to bring them good luck.

If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the little things that we take for granted.

Upon receiving this, say a little prayer for our soldiers that give and give (and give up) so unselfishly for us.

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!!....
