I am so looking forward to my flower garden this year. With the addition of Lydia last year, I just wasn't able to concentrate much on this new love. But the other day I heard birds singing and I instantly thought, "FLOWERS!" I am most excited to see:
- hibiscus
- hydrangea
- stargazer lilies
My 2007 gardening goals:
1. Replant coneflower and black eyed susans. They all but disintegrated by the end of the summer last year-- go figure.
2. Use annuals more effectively. Last year I tried new groupings of annuals, and I didn't think too many of them looked good. Back to the drawing board...
I'm still trying to decide on my three hanging baskets for the front porch. Should I go with ferns and chance my neighbor thinking I'm copying her, or should I use a mixture of cool colored annuals like I did last year?

I'm so excited for gardening season to begin too! My first purchase will be Annabelle hydrangeas. Do you have any of those in your garden? I tried to get a cutting garden going last year, but the bunnies ate everything down to the ground. Make sure you post some pictures of your creations once growing season starts.
I vote for the ferns. I have done them the last two years and think they are so classy looking--low maintenance too.
