@RoriTx:  This is the original garden I started 2 years ago on YGS.  It's a combination of Charley and Liz.  I really wanted to keep this one strictly my flower gardens and the Bohemian Garden would be my veggies.  But all you Texans were getting all those beautiful veggies and we had no veggies and seedlings just don't cut it after a while.....so I started putting my flowers picture here instead.  So I'm going to slowly start putting my flowers back to this site.  Plus I want to keep track of all my new flowers.  I hope I'm making sense.  My husband started rototilling behind the barn yesterday, but his back started hurting (he has a bad back).  I volunteered to do it and I've never done it before.  And I just came in and it has totally wiped me out.
