I do a lot of soil ameding and am running two compost bins.I am reclaiming an overgrown area filled with brambles etc. The area has beautiful rocks in it so I am saving them and using them as backdrops for the flowers. My house is 1780's so I am beginning period corrrect gardens up close to the house. Difficult to find the needed flowers. Anyone else do a period gardens? I visited the Shaker Canterbury Village and found lots of examples of old flowers ...hummmmm. Marlene Quote \| Reply \| Report
