Even when I lived in the same house for years I was always moving plants and adding plants. I'll try anything once...or twice...okay, as many times as it takes for me to get it right. LOL. It's just this little voice inside me that whispers to me. Like, how can your sister AND you mom grow roses and you can't? It will happen! Just plant them and they will grow! Until the winter when they die and refuse to come back!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-56581860491879234712008-02-24T06:17:00.000-06:002008-02-24T06:17:00.000-06:00Annaflowergardengirl,Not so much a bad idea but an...Annaflowergardengirl,<BR/><BR/>Not so much a bad idea but an exciting, enticing, seductive one!!

I so would love a private garden . out of view of my neighbors .. so I could sneak out in my pajamas in the summer and weed, dead head .. just enjoy my garden all by myself.<BR/>I can't even visit the subject of wanting to make parts of my garden look like some of the gorgeous ones I have seen.<BR/>What is great about us as gardeners is that we keep on trying all the same ! You have to enjoy that aspect : )<BR/>JoyCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-70654359807904221282008-02-22T14:13:00.000-06:002008-02-22T14:13:00.000-06:00LOL!
