I am so jealous! Down here if the heat and poor soil don't kill the flowers, then the bugs and squirrels take care of them. The only thing that grows are four o'clocks -- plant them once and you have them for life...everywhere but where you want them.

Beautiful gardens, everyone. Makes me yearn to go back to the north.

Beautiful gardens everyone. We lost quite a bit this winter to the harsh weather too. We lost several knock out roses and nearly all of our asparagus. I care more about the asparagus than anything. Our patch was doing really well. We should have been getting about a pound every other day. Then we got a late snow and it took care of a lot that wasn't killed by the extreme cold of the winter. Some of it is coming back some not. I love asparagus.
