I have two brown thumbs, but my mama helps me keep some color in my yard! I do have wild violets, and I don't care what the Chem Lawn people say, they're welcome in my yard! They also grow in a stone wall I have - very pretty! I pick them & freeze them for fun ice cubes - I've been an ADPi MUCH too long!

I really tried hard to have a rose garden, but the only two that are still living are of unknown origin and nothing seems to kill them! They're a burgundy "seven sisters" like rose - lots of small blooms.

My pride & joy are my peonies! I have them around my deck - mostly white but one rich deep pink. Their smell is heavenly, and the foliage is great all summer long. When I'm blue, I sit on the porch swing with a good book and just inhale....

I just saw an article in Southern Living about propagating azaleas, and I decided to try it. Wish me luck!
