LOL<BR/><BR/>Yes, it is fun to see what you get, perennial and woody shrubs, etc through the seasons. We have not been here for a spring, either, but I know many of the plants now by having seen them elsewhere (mostly along the roadsides) from last spring through the summer.<BR/><BR/>I salvaged a couple of forsythia but didn't have the house quite yet when I got them so they are planted temporarily in my friend Todd's yard. (by the way, his sister is named Amy!) I'll get them after they have bloomed this spring; they are easy to transplant and grow. My Todd, a landscaper, calls them a "weed shrub" because they grow too well!Jj Starwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489404583934106550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701198483456071370.post-54847434589421896012009-03-29T08:33:00.000-07:002009-03-29T08:33:00.000-07:00Gasp, you are going to be eating Oliver???Your sta...Gasp, you are going to be eating Oliver???<BR/><BR/>Your starts are beautiful, and plentiful. <BR/><BR/>I've been wandering our property to see what's growing on (ha ha) and we have several forsythia that I didn't know about (I can only recognize them in the spring) a lilac, some kind of spring bulbs (leaves only, so far, but I'm hoping for tulips or daffodils) and our big hawthorn has swelling buds, and will be bursting into hot pink splendor any day. Can't wait! It's always fun the first year in a new house to see what comes up.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05975156589409543136noreply@blogger.com
