My pond - last year, when it was just barely finished, and this year - more work to do but coming along.

Sharon, the fence is to keep cats and kids out. We lost a kitten in it last year, and my sister has 3 pre-schoolers. One of this year's projects is a better looking fence.
I'm always totally amazed at the variety of plants you grow - I'm just starting to realize how many different irises and lilies there are. You've got some for every letter of the alphabet!

Ahhhh, I see.

Thanks, One of these days, I should actually go around and count every plant in my garden. LOL

Once again, I tried to avoid posting pictures of perennials/misc that I have posted in previous years in the Gallery. So, be sure to go back to last years Ps for more P pictures from my garden.

Speaking of keeping track of the perennials in a person's yard and how many a person has...I think I have mentioned this before in previous threads... I have a database in my computer where I keep a running list of all the perennials/plants/trees/shrubs/bulbs in my yard....now up to just over 2300. I have a column for the name of the plant, one column for its location in my yard, one for its height and width and one for a description of the plant. Lastly, the most important column is the one where I input the year I got it, the price I paid and maybe its regular price, from where or whom I got it from, its hybridizer and year registered, the zone it can officially grow in (I grow a lot of zone 4 plants in my zone 2b garden), months it is to bloom in, and dates I took a picture of it. This database has proven to be invaluable to me. Often I refer back to it when wanting to know how many years I have had a certain plant, whom I received it from or where in the yard I planted it.

On to the P's....

Here is a picture of the Pear Slug I found on my cherry tree on Sept 20th. I will definitely be on the lookout from now on for these little guys.

Prairie Blossoms Daylily is a daylily that Laurie and I got in the spring of 2006. She has used hers in hybridizing in 2007. Mine didnt bloom until last summer, 2008, and I had others I wanted to use for hybridizing instead. But, I love the two toned flowers on this daylily.
