Dear M & M,
I've been sighing over the pics. of your beautiful garden.
Nothing much doing here in the middle of winter I'm afraid, however I thought you might like to see my one and only pot (such are the constraints of a very shady courtyard garden) of daffodils - King Alfreds of course.
I have a pot of tulips next to the pot of daffs. and the first buds are just appearing - I'm hopeful of a good display, but it's the first time I've tried tulips, so I'm not sure how they'll go.
Love Jenny
Thanks for the letter and beautiful pic. We are luck to be in Niagara's micro-climate. The Niagara Escarpment is classed as Carolinian forest, (a good indicator of our relative growing zone), meaning its growth is equal to the fauna growing in the Carolinas in the "deep south".
Hmmm ... maybe we should try growing Ti-Tree!
Our "20 Year Project". We're looking forward to building our brand new garden, year by year, from almost scratch. Apart from a few very small trees, our newly acquired tract is currently only a bare stretch of grass. So starting July 23rd, 2007 when we take possession it's "on with the show" ..... and please come back often and watch us grow!
Greetings from the Niagara!

We bought 45 plants for $30 on July 10/07.
That has to be the best price anywhere!
She has them growing in her garden, plus has pictures of all, so great way to choose your own.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
