The hydrangeas are going to be stunning when they've grown onto the deck rails! I wish we could grow some of the wonderful plants here in Ottawa that you can on the west coast. I look forward to seeing more of the progress! <br /><br />We have a side yard that is like your backyard - seems to be at the bottom of the list for clean up :)!

I know some names, but that's about it.

I use to be just a flower girl but now I look at plants with interesting shapes and colors as in my octopus fern,hehe, that plant still cracks me up. I read a saying about perrinials after being disgusted with the lack of growth for the first two years. It is first year they sleep, 2nd year they creep, 3rd year they leap!! I was going into my third year on a vine out front and ready to pull it out. I am glad I gave it one more chance now it it crazy with growth and blooms. Good luck, it looks wonderful, KathysueKathysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272239664279235716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-5924200052520648762010-05-22T03:28:08.157-04:002010-05-22T03:28:08.157-04:00Love your progress so far Victoria, I think my fav...Love your progress so far Victoria, I think my fav part is the climbing hydrangeas too!!

Your Scotty sounds like such a character - he reminds me of our late cat Oreo - we had a field behind our home and when we'd call him in he would duck like we couldn't see him in the green grass - he was black and white LOL!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943519610757706096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-7236226587605759462010-05-21T20:37:50.073-04:002010-05-21T20:37:50.073-04:00It's looking great - good job!

Expand your plant knowledge by taking snap shots of plants you love then research them on the Internet. Great selections by the way!<br /><br />A sign and blog address is a great way to teach others and share in the fun of design, make new friends, and increase exposure to a new clients. <br /><br />The things we do for "Love" even as we sleep is really sweet.
