"Gardening is not some sort of game by which one proves his superiority over others, nor is it a marketplace for the display of elegant things that others cannot afford. It is, on the contrary, a growing work of creation, endless in its changing elements. It is not a monument or an achievement, but a sort of traveling, a kind of pilgrimage you might say, often a bit grubby and sweaty though true pilgrims do not mind that. A garden is not a picture, but a language, which is of course the major art of life." Henry Mitchell "The Essential Earthman" I work as the Floriculture Director for Landscape Services, Inc. My job includes designing and planting semi-annually hundreds of annual beds containers and garden beds for commercial development, neighborhoods, and residents requesting our horticulture services. I love my job and the opportunity to bring beauty to our local communities. Most of all, I love introducing new plant material to the average gardener, and to helping them find success in their own gardens.

what a wonderful celebration! Caramel cake and muscadine wine - ummmmm. There was a bonfire in our town, but I'm afraid I went to bed early.
Happy New Year, Barbara. It was a pleasure meeting and spending time with you this year. We still need that chat over wine, however. Cheers. (And thanks for that washtub-firepit idea. If I ever have the place for a firepit, that's a great way to go.)
Sounds good to me. An old wringer washer lid makes the best sled. Really fast but what the heck we use to use cardboard on the dry fall grass in the fall for a sled. Now that is really fast! LOL!
Do enjoy your containers.Is your husband from Dothan Ga? Happy New Year.Look forward seeing in 2011.
Yes, my hubby's a dothan, ala man.
