    I'm still working on the new gardens, and will be expanding a couple of the established areas.

    As Christine knows, I'm really not picky about color, I just want plants that will grow and blossom, or that have pretty foliage.

    - Marigold seeds (any kind/color, they're great under the climbers on the chainlink fence!)

    - Any low-growing nandina.

    - Anything knee height-ish that will take full sun. (annuals or perennials, doesn't really matter)

    - Anything that takes part shade that will climb but not go crazy (I don't want to have to chase it up the power pole or onto the neighbor's shed).

    - And until such time as the yard runneth over, if you've got extras and they're not thugs/hooligans or super finicky, I'll take 'em.

    See you there!
