Watching them grow !!

You have my permission to skip past this blog message if you have no interest in my garden. I may be the only person interested in watching–and documenting–the growth of some of my plants. Some… were nurtured through the Winter but were hard-hit by our last deep freeze. Some… have failed to push out new growth. But I am hopeful they will recover.

All came from North Carolina.
