I am basking in gooey chocolately caramel goodness :) I LOVE the orange ginger and am forcing myself to wait for them to cool down a bit before getting into the rest of them. I second the notion for foundation beds, we need curb appeal. Our house is a little closer to the street than yours is with your typical sidewalk out front and straight walk leading right up to the front door. I love the mass planting you did and might give it a try. All I have to say is YUM!!!

Unfortunately, I am missing the best of planting season because the stupid house is running way behind. I will have to wait for fall for a lot of things. That means all summer I will be building raised beds, conditioning soil and working on hardscapes. That is killer work when the heat and humidity both hit 90+, but I'll be lovin it!!!

I just wish you tell me your secret for not killing lavender!! Also... will you tell Derek how much I've toned DOWN my exclamation points. Amazing how plantings can transform a home isn’t it.

If I'm going to blow it, I might as well blow the entire day. Otherwise I'll know they are there and they'll tempt me. I have no self control. And just so you don't think all I've been thinking about is candy, the flowers do look nice. :) Regarding the chocolates: what’s probably going to happen is that I’ll eat them all in one day.

When we moved into our house 3 years ago, my SIL gave me some perinneals she had split -- and some of them were mint. Now I've got that stuff sprouting up all over the place, I'll be lucky if I ever get rid of it. I SO wish that I got as much enjoyment out of gardening as other people seem to. I only do it because I'm vain, and I want my house and yard to look pretty, but I can't say I really enjoy it. It looks great.

I just went back and read it, and although you probably understood what I meant, I figure I should've been a little clearer. :) Anyway, I like the idea of eating the chocolates in a piece of lettuce. Yeah, I just re-started my diet, too. Maybe one a day won't hurt me. They are addictive, though! In my earlier comment…by “something” I meant some “designing of the landscape”…

My garden is coming up this year with even more thistles than last year. I didn't think it was possible. They're going to be the death of me yet! It looks beautiful!
