I have a heuchera that I never got planted sitting up next to the house and it's got new growth on it! I was so surprised. They are really hardy aren't they? <br />I bet it is so much fun at your house this year with the Littlest Gardener. That is a great age. Have a wonderful holiday! <br />ps I'm getting excited about seed ordering too.

I swear I was just transplanting out tomato seedlings...and now it's less than a week to Christmas!? Do Camellias do well where you are? You might be able to espalier one along the fence, so it doesn't take up too much room, but it would give you that evergreen backdrop for winter.

I like to shop in the nursery at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden because they have quite an extensive offering of them.<br /><br />The pond still looks great! Honestly, our yard is so small (9,000 square feet) and so densely planted now, I don't know where I could put one. I miss my old pond.<br /><br />Have you ever looked at the pond pictured inside the Sunset book? I love it. It is on my garden dream list.<br /><br />I used to sell Botanical Interest seeds. Those illustrations are a knock out, aren't they? But I like Renee's too. <br /><br />Sending love and best wishes across the miles,<br /><br />Sharon Lovejoy Writes from Sunflower House and a Little Green IslandSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-51899663470190776382010-12-19T18:37:08.709-08:002010-12-19T18:37:08.709-08:00Catherine, your garden still looks alive.
