Masz piękne kwiaty, a domek dla ptaszków jest słodki. Pozdrawiam ciepło.<br /><br />Well, a lot of work awaits you. But I think it's worth, if your garden is another meet your expectations and dreams :-). You have beautiful flowers, a house for birds is sweet.

What a HUGE job. I do not blame on digging the barberries though. You should watch them because I cut mine down and those boogers came right back-even a year later they are still trying to regrow. Your plant choices are very interesting. Some I don't even know. I do want to know how your yellowroot does. I have some in my garden and am hoping it comes back and spreads. It's so pretty in full glory but mine had not done well. Happy New Year to you and Happy Gardening!tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-446181627575334312012-01-12T19:52:34.267-05:002012-01-12T19:52:34.267-05:00You have certainly done a lot of work and have cho...You have certainly done a lot of work and have chosen some beautiful plants!

I hope to have the money to order some new daylilies this spring and so I will have to keep your fragrant varieties in mind (fragrance is always such a great bonus in a flower, isn't it?). <br />As far as hostas go, I have mostly no-name hostas that I got on final clearance. I would like to have more hostas, but want them to be "special". I will definitely keep fragrant Guacamole in mind. <br />Thanks also for the link to Toni's blog. I like the curve and open look of the two framed windows. A curved shape is exactly what I want. (Toni's garden is so beautifully laid out isn't it! I am in awe.)<br />Finally, on to this post. You have certainly added a wide range of plants. I look forward to seeing how they all turn out. I hate to be a party pooper, but did you know that Solomon's Seal is a bit invasive? I have a bunch of it as well, but it is too young to have become a problem. My mom warned me about it, and you know what they say, mothers are always right. I have mine in a spot where nothing else grows. Hopefully, I won't regret it. I have to say that it is a beautiful looking perennial. <br />Love the roses! Don't know yellowroot at all. Can't wait to see how it does.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-41299224398140835162012-01-09T22:47:50.103-05:002012-01-09T22:47:50.103-05:00Wow, you have some great ones there!

Tough, too, as long as no other plants run it over.<br /><br />Christina - I left you a long comment about the Fred Meyers on your blog. :o)<br /><br />Jess - LOL! I've given all the different parts of my garden a name. It keeps them organized in my head and makes me feel like my garden is way bigger than it actually is!<br /><br />Donna - I have a lot of stamina, that's for sure! I was so excited about the project that only thing that stopped me was the need to pee, eat, and work. Oh yeah, and sleep!<br /><br />Bumble - I'd love to have a water lily but my pond is too shady.<br /><br />Karin - The variegated sea oats are stunning. I can hardly wait to see them sprout this spring. They're in a shady spot that needed some zest.<br /><br />Toni - Thanks for the advice on the water rush. Should it attempt to escape its pot, I'll be sure to show it who's boss!<br /><br />Crystal - Give the dracocephalum a try. It's a great plant!! It likes well drained soil. <br /><br />Holley - I love reviving the garden. Every year is a new opportunity to fix old mistakes. Plus, I get to buy a bunch of new plants!

I have one small area that is dry shade, and there is only dying plants there! :) Secondly, I admire you for having the courage to do what a lot of us want, but are afraid - start a huge makeover!

Haven't seen that before. I love the variegated Solomon's Seal, too. I had a couple clumps of it and moved them into one large clump this fall, so I'm looking forward to a good display this year. You might keep an eye on that horsetail in your pond. I have found it VERY invasive. Keep it in a pot. And I see that my Fred Meyers are poking out of the ground. Like, you I planted them in the driest spot in my front garden. I was surprised at how large the bulbs were! Thanks for giving me the heads on those :-) Can't wait to see the fruits of your labors this year!

How big is your pond? Mine is very small. I've never grown aquatic plants either, although there is a water lily in the fish pond (but that was there when we bought the house). I wonder if there is room for another plant.

I wonder how you could pull that up all by yourself. You must be a quite energetic woman :-)! I love your new plants, especially the campanula 'Summertime Blues', Dracocephalum 'Fuji Blue' (False Dragonshead), 'Sunday Gloves' daylily, and the 'Peggy Martin' and 'Jude the Obscure' roses. The latter are truly wonderful varieties. I am sure you will enjoy them. I am so stunned that you also planted the belladonna lilies 'Fred Meyer Whites'. They have been sold to me as rarities at a plant market last autumn and I just put the bulbs in recently. I have never seen a white belladonna lily blooming in person, even though the pink ones you can see here quite often. Can't wait for them to bloom the first time. <br />You surely have something to look forward to when all these plants will have grown in this year and bloom. Awesome job! I can't wait to see photos of the whole made over garden areas either!<br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-23758642670768728972012-01-07T23:38:17.020-05:002012-01-07T23:38:17.020-05:00What a great selection of plants, and I like that ...What a great selection of plants, and I like that you give each one a little profile and portrait! I'm considering the Chrysogonum Green & Gold for a bare patch of earth in my garden that I can't get water to, so it's good to see your experience with it.<br /><br />I have to say my favorite, though, is the header picture of the Spigelia. How I love, love that little beauty. I have killed it three times now, three years in a row, but still want to try again. It looks like you have a whole patch of it.Laurriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657951570419825095noreply@blogger.com
