YaY!!! I asked what you thought of greenhouses. I am thinking about considering putting one up maybe in the fall so I can get a jump start on the spring. I found a lot of sites with greenhouse kits ranging from $700 or so up to $10,000 with hundreds of variables. I'm thinking with our mild winters (Panhandle Florida) I'll be able to grow all year round with minimal climate control. I thought I could start with a smallish one, 8 x 6 or so, then if it goes well, I can get another small one and connect them.

My question- how can I add color to my front beds. I will need to email you a picture- we have 10 bushes that need a desperate trim( 5 on each side) and hostas- but it's all green and I want some type of colorful low plant- don't have alot of room to work with.

I have free rocks from the neighbor to try to make some terraces, but then what? It's under the shade of a giant maple tree ... I have some strawberries doing OK on the bottom of the hill and some heather plants ... and there's that blackberry bush who does whatever it pleases. Help! So, pretty please, let's schedule playdate at my house. My hill in my backyard needs some serious help … I have free rocks from the neighbor to try to make some terraces, but then what?

Good luck with the veggie garden plan! I'm just hoping to keep up with the weeding this year, and possibly plant a Q shaped garden for Quin to keep. Gardening questions, huh? The advice you gave me last year has been wonderful, and I no longer go for every last bit of weed, but instead just tackle the big stuff with the intent of going after the little stuff later on.

Right now, I am still trying to get the flowerbeds under control, but one of them is empty. I wonder if I could plant a few garden items. Is it too late in the year to plant anything?
