My wife likes bulbs. She has day lillies, cannas, and a couple of others that I can not think of. Also has a rose bed with about a dozen roses. Roses are dificult here due to black spot caused by so much rain, but we manage by using raised beds for drainage and drip line under the mulch for rare drought conditions. I planted a hundred Gladiolas in two beds that look nice. They were the pricey ones from an online supplier, as opposed to the ones from Lowes or Wally where I had only one sprout out of 50 bulbs planted. The colors are fantastic.

We are looking forward to our move and the chance to start from scratch on a blank canvas, to design a garden that is pleasing to both of us, and to have a space for a veggie garden, too. We are hoping that veggies will do better in a differant area.

It is really wonderful to have a mate that enjoys the same things, and supportive of each other's interest. We share the garden and yard interest, and home improvements also, and I support her in her stained glass hobby, and she supports me in my interest in classic cars. It seems as most of the regulars on this garden thread are blessed with wonderful, supporting spouses. Ain't that the way it is supposed to be?
