The daphne is an inspired choice too, ours is loaded with buds that would open if only it would warm back up. Rosemary is wonderful too, and we can use it to spice up our meals.

Daphne I’d like to grow again – I lost one too a number of years ago. Rosemary would be handy for cooking too! Yes, I’d have the cone flowers for the birds and butterflies too. What fun this has been! I must dash now as I’ve a few islands left to visit before it gets dark ;-DShirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-52983343070361088952009-01-23T17:30:00.000-05:002009-01-23T17:30:00.000-05:00Wow, I go outside to enjoy some mild weather to st...Wow, I go outside to enjoy some mild weather to start pruning and I have all these wonderful comments! <BR/>Jan- You should try some lilacs somewhere...you are far enough north to have them do pretty well. I love lavender, just got some this fall and have it in a pot to regulate the pH of the soil. Hope your disc/ neck troubles don't slow you down too much.<BR/>Tina- thanks! I do like lilacs.<BR/>Racquel- thanks, I like to enjoy the scents of the plants. <BR/>Cameron- Lilacs seem to be a favorite for many of us!

Agree with all the choices...it is so hard to choose. That's why it's so good everyone is bringing something different! I have wonderful memories of lilac bushes in my grandmothers backyard, when I was a child. But I've never had one and I haven't tried to grow one. I'd love to, but don't really have a spot for it. Haven't tried lavender yet either, but plan to this year. I'm listening to what everyone has to say and taking notes!<BR/><BR/>Monarda, I really do love. I had some a few yrs ago. It does spread a bit, so unless there's 'lots' of room it has to be pulled out and thinned. Unfortunately my garden area had to be dug into when something went wrong w/the plumbing. I tried to save some things but it wasn't a good outcome. Then I stopped putting perrenials in that area, but I'd love to try again this spring/summer. Only problem is my neck and back-I have serious disc issues and quite a lot of pain. It's discouraging because I LOVE to garden.<BR/>Great choices for our trip! What is the date we're leaving, again??!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.com
