I love pansies, but would like to plant something different. Also, do you know of a beautiful bush with flowers or berries that doesn't grow over 4 feet and easy to maintain?

I am no green thumb, I don't know much about plants and nothing seems to grow for me. But this summer I planted petunias in front of our house and they look beautiful... still. I haven't really done anything with them except to water when there isn't rain. Must be a pretty harty plant to survive me... :D
(Probably not to plant in the fall though...) :shock:

My favorite thing to plant in the fall is ME... right in front of my sewing machine! I do so much gardening during the spirng and summer that I don't have as much time for quilting....but when fall rolls around, I can get started again!
Second would be lilies.......

Nothing at all, no food, no flowers, don't enjoy taking care of them.
