We have an entire front yard to landscape now, and I'm waiting for a friend of a friend to come and tell me what on my wish list will actually grow there. I love peoneys (sp?) and hydrangeas and hope to find a place for them. I think I'll try tomatoes for the first time. Any hints?

Tomato's are fairly esy to grow. Just make sure that you have rods to attach them too as they grow and you feed them with miracle grow and usual watering when rain isnt cooperative.
Peonies are beautiful flowers. When my fiance and I get married and build our new house, they are on our landscaping list with other things as well(we are actually going to be a lil cheap and dig up some of our bulbs and take with us too hehe). I have three deep blue hydrangeas inside my home that I bought at Walmart around Easter and they are beautiful! They have lasted a really long time too, much longer bloom time than my tulips. When they finally die we are going to plant their bulbs here in the fall rather than throwing them in the garbage
I do really enjoy gardening. As having a stressful major and soon to be stressful career, as does my fiance, we have discovered that gardening, be it flowers or veggies and fruits, is a stress reliever for us as well as cheap exercise if you will
