I have one flowerbed left to re-plant. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow! I think I'll try roses. I've never planted roses. I'm going home to research that, while sipping a good margarita or glass of wine.

Happy Weekend All!
SANDY! Plant antique roses - they are soooo hardy and require almost no fussing or care. My avatar is a 1917 Mrs. B.R. Cant rose. It is a pretty big bush - like 6/7 ft. by 6/7 ft and I have to keep it under control. It's not a climber, but it can get so BIG! It blooms almost year round, it has buds on it right now and there might be some blooms, I'm not sure. It will bloom all summer (the blooms do get smaller in the summer heat) and until the first frost. It is a cabbage rose, so the blooms are not the "classic" perfect rose blooms. But there are so many varieties of antique roses and they are MUCH hardier than the new hybrids - and disease resistant too.
