Awesome transformation, Ed! I think this quote applies:

Donna, that Ginsu Knife is fabulous. I've stared at that picture for days. I had to remark on it. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Happy Spring everyone

Thanks, almosthooked. Phlox was the first thing I ever planted. Every spring driving to work I would pass this insane purple patch in someone's yard.

I went out with a headlamp and spray bottle of dilute ammonia to do battle with slugs. Didn't find any, but I did grab a picture of Piedmont Gold wearing a necklace. Maybe she had a hot Friday night date.

Spring is riotous here in North Carolina. The late snows delayed everything so it's all happening at once.

Re: Tiny Bubbles

Babka, it's the first time up. We toured the fabulous garden of friends of ours that are professional landscapers yesterday. They are coming to look at my garden Wednesday. I'm hoping it's still yellow by then. I'll let you know.
