I love your garden. Mine is pretty new (moved into this house last April) and having a very limited budget (okay, almost NO budget) and having enough arthritis to make doing anything in the garden hurt, it takes a long time to get anything done. But I'll get there. Between the clearance table at my local Lowe's and a sister who changes her gardening mind all the time, I've added quite a lot. Progress, not perfection, right????

Well, Richard, they are all very pretty, but I think, right now, the water is the prettiest of all.

Thanks Wilo. One of the neat thing about gardening is how it grows over time. If you have the time and inclination, you can add alot of plants fairly cheap with seed. Good luck and post some pics of your "journey".

Jim, I know what you mean. Right now Amarillo is giving us a little of that "if you don't like the weather here just wait a minute" side its famous for. My wife and I were out yesterday afternoon shopping and discussed how we almost needed a jacket here. Really. There was a little breeze, overcast and the high yesterday was in the seventies. It was like 82 the day before. Supposed to be in the lo 80's today. Right now we're in the 50's this morning. March since Houston was that cool? Ha.

Of course, you could go dig up some of my blizzard pics to remind me of the other side of the coin or the record we sat last month at 107. ;) Ah, the good ol Panhandle.

I gotta agree with Jim. That water looks cool and refreshing with our temps in the upper 90's and low 100's.

Wow those zinnas are unbelievable! Great pictures!

Thanks toadlilly.
Looking at that pic again reminds me I need someone to help me battle snails. That is why those Pac mums are kind of looking thin. I have tried the pet safe baits. Just slows them down a little. I pluck them, I stomp them. I've tried beer traps with no luck there. I spray them with ammonia and water, but, its a never ending attack and there is just more of them than you can shoot.

Ideas, tricks, techniques?

I like the fountain too.
