okay then ... What you want is some hearty perennials, something even the caretaker would have difficulty killing Coneflower Echinacea spp. These come in a variety of colors, purple being most widly used in gardens. I have purple and white. They will tolerate full sun or part shade. Black eyed Susan Rudbedkia Butterfly Bush Buddleia Mine is purple. Lupine like shade, but not deep shade. (Deep shade never gets direct sunlight) The same applies to lilys. Vinca aka Periwinkle aka myrtle will grow in shade to deep shade. Most Hosta and Ferns also prefer to be out of the sun espically in the afternoon. And never underestimate the power of moss! Moss is soo cool I've already started collecting some for my shade patch Do a google search for low maintenance, perennials and see what you like. Start with the tallest plants or the spring bloomers in the center and work out filling to the edge with low growing plants. I'll look up some more later.

whoa the road looks hella scary! A lotta sand and clay ne? the phlox are very pretty . marigold are unappealing to most wildlife too. Deer wont eat em. Generally I plant marigold or mint near plants that deer and other critters might want to snack on. A lot of roses (most actually) need a good hacking down before growing season gets going. they're one of those plants that wont grow new green on old wood. there seems to be quite the mix of sun and shade in your garden. you can probably get away with growing stuff that is more sensitive to hot afternoon sunlight. were you thinking of reworking the beds so that there is a variety of different stuff in each one? each individual bed can be designed to be its own lil ecosystem. Plants that complement each others growing conditions (like how acidic the soil is, how much sun) difference in color and leaf texture give each bed it's own unique look I grow lavender and mini roses together. I also put some mint, sage, yarrow (yarrow strengthens the herbs it grows with. makes em more potent) and a couple other herbs (Irises for spring) in the bed together. I'll get some pics of the disaster and show ya

Behold the superior skills Ussop's ninja like senses alert him to danger and he goes into fight or flight mode. Fig1:Ussop's chakra lifts his goggles right off this head Ussop then immediatly reacts plotting his escape. Fig 2:Ussop's eyes instinctively find the right path Ussop escapes using the route with the highest probability of survival. Fig3:Ussop makes a clean getaway while his enemies are crushed You have to give Ussop points for that yo

It's a little too soon for plant things so I've started reworking the flagstone walkway. The stones have heaved over the years and it's been time to resettle them in for a while now. Quite a work out for the thighs n arms

Battlestar Galactica: Season 2 Finale
Ladywriter replied to Sledgstone's topic in Battlestar Galactica
they'll have to cover some of what happened, a little bit at least like what happened between Starbuck and Lee to get them fighting and miserable with each other. Where is Helo and Sharron? Did the priest cylons go out the airlock or what? What did Caprica 6 and Sharron accomplish so that humans arent just being killed? And the godsdamned fleet jumped away!? What now!!! -
I was wondering who uses what to burn data, music, and dvds.

Naruto is fighting Orochimaru on his own. Sakura is still on his team and this asshole kid Sai is filling Sasuke's place. The team on this mission is being led by an ANBU guy.
