About Me:
I am always intrested in new ideas for my gardens. I don't plant many vegetables, but do mix a few herbs and vegetables among my flowers.
Favorite area of home improvement:
My gardens are always my favorite place to improve. The next project is to use our new metal carport for a backyard shelter for lawn furniture, bbq's, trellis for Bugle Vine and a small potting area. The carport is double wide and will be delivered in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to starting this project, most of it in the Fall.

Invasive plant horror stories
Hometalk member and gardener extraordinaire Barb Rosen recently wrote of her nightmare experience with chameleon plant, Houttuynia cordata, and what may be her life-long project of getting rid of it. But Barb surely isn't alone in having planted something she regretted. For me, my biggest mistake was planting gooseneck loosestrife, Lysimachia clethroides. I'd heard how "rambunctious" the plant could be, but I had a dry,
