Coleus, the Beautiful Annual Grown for Its Leaves
Coleus is a hardy annual that is grown for its colorful leaves. It does have flowers but they are fairly indiscriminate and I normally just cut them off when they appear, since this makes my plant get bushier.
The plant comes in so many varieties now. They take easily from cuttings dipped in rooting power, so I will often buy three or four and pretty much strip them down into dozens of cuttings. A few weeks later, all of my garden beds are growing the beauties. ...»

A Photo of My Junk Pile
I have lovingly called this my junkpile for several years it was the very first thing I did to start on such a huge task as my back yard. I just threw some allysum seeds in this week to see if I can get them to grown...added some more dirt... but overall it is what it is...a junkpile that I love...its right next to our bbq area and adds loads of interest to a normally ugly spot.

I want to overseed a dying lawn
The front lawn I had enough $$ to lay good local new sod. I don't have the money to do the back...besides the front has inground sprinklers not so much the back.
Last year I tried all of the hints and helps and did everything they asked and NOTHING! This year I did my own thing...I want to take wagers on if you think it will take or not..
Seed is Scott's Hardy grass seed (given to me by someone locally who has used it and worked perfectly) ...»
