You got horses, how much land have you got out there anyway? So your trenches worked, they must be good, considering the rain we been having. So I got dahalia tubers for you, what else would you like...I got everything....name it and I will bring it to you. :lol:

- Thread starter peapod
- Start date
Only 2 1/2 acres.
As for plants I know there is nothing but daffs in the front garden and we didn't dig up the back garden yet so I know there are iris's, not sure what else. I'll prolly just plant the front garden this year, see what comes up out back and then determine if it stays or goes elsewhere. In one of my houses I lifted and seperated 1 iris plant and got 6 divisions out of it, but there was lots of them to do this too so friends were given lots.
Lots has to be done in the gardens as the people before us were complete idiots. They plants a lilac tree under the eaves of the house. Dumb, dumb dumb. I've cut it back but it will have to be moved. And I won't even begin to tell you about the rose bushes that have been left for lord knows how long. See they were busy making sure other species of plants were growing, if you know what I mean. But the weeds grow like gang busters here, lots of worms in the dirt so that's a good start I think. I"ve got a vege garden which is now full of mounds of grass and weed. I will have to weedeat before I can even get in there with a rototiller. My back is going to be so sore this spring. Too many lilac trees, a holly tree which I hate and too many hydrangeas which I also hate and nothing planted in any sort of order or design. Might explain all the empty booze bottles found through the yard.

make sure you get rid of the runners those liliacs send out. Why don't you like hydrangeas? You can make them turn different colours ya know. I will send you a list of what I got and you can decide what you would like. I got lots of different things, I have a few roses, but they get to many diseases, to much rain. Are you going to open up a nursery?
Opening the nursery is still the plan, but not right away. Probably in the new year, come spring. We have landscaping that needs to be done before anything can be brought in.
As for the lilac trees, have no fear, unless you are a lilac tree that is.
I don't like hydrangeas cause they are too big a flower, not aromatic. The ones here are blue and I have one that is red, but there are about 10 of them which is too much for someone who doesn't like them. I'll probably end up keeping 1 or 2 but that's about it.
How big is your garden?
