You'd sure have the space with a nice long driveway.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-90163649655416012422008-06-10T18:14:00.000-05:002008-06-10T18:14:00.000-05:00Christopher, it looks like such an amazing place, ...Christopher, it looks like such an amazing place, already! How beautiful. I love the idea of lighting the driveway with daisies too - how perfect. (And on a previous post - how nice to get a gift of tropials!

Sunflowers, Shastas, tarweeds, osteospermum, etc. And a minimum of bunchgrasses for structure.<BR/><BR/>It chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-76137207707578724762008-06-09T21:15:00.000-05:002008-06-09T21:15:00.000-05:00Annie, There were parts of intestines and a tiny s...Annie, There were parts of intestines and a tiny speck of fur at the top of my drive two days ago. I have heard the coyotes and seen their tracks. I hear several owls almost nightly. Yesterday I saw a white domestic cat in the vegetable garden. We have no near neighbors. I think the predators may be protecting the vegetables.<BR/><BR/>After all these years there are mostly only the pretty weeds Christopher C.

Your new white iris is a beauty. <BR/><BR/>Are there any critters around that seem to be watching your vegetable garden grow? There are a couple of squirrels here that seem to be counting the green tomatoes. <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-64595703772833361782008-06-09T09:02:00.000-05:002008-06-09T09:02:00.000-05:00That is a lovely iris.

Yours may be a crisper white than 'Seagull'. <BR/><BR/>Yes, a drive lined with daisies would be lovely. Plus they would light the way when you come in at dusk or evening.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
