But I supposed there is never an end to growing, so your title is a good one. I'm in awe of your garden. When I first saw your blog I knew it was one I wanted to remember (or have, for that matter)! I used to have a pond in my backyard with perennials all around it, surrounded by astone wall. It's been removed since, (long story) but my husband & I are now wanting to put one in again. Maybe this year, even.<BR/>Too bad you didn't do the Desert Island challenge...more people would visit your blog that way.

If you're getting snow this weekend, I guess we'll probably get some next week when the clouds make it over here.

This one hasn't gotten much taller, just fuller. It does get very tiny cherries that the birds love.

I see you have some Black Eyed Susans and I'll be getting some for my new home. You shady area is well done. I've got a great deal of amending to do before they will grow in my new beds. <BR/><BR/>Have you seen bees at your bird bath? I think the bees drink more than the birds for my garden. I didn't even know bees drank water from a bird bath. I guess I thought they got enough moisture from the flowers they frequent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-69920352691824795922009-01-22T18:24:00.000-08:002009-01-22T18:24:00.000-08:00Grace - thanks!
