When we moved to Virginia in 2002, our front border was a mess of overgrown weeds. I dug it all out and planted a <a href="http://www.bluestoneperennials.com" rel="nofollow">Bluestone Perennials starter garden</a>. Lots of pretty flowers the first year, and by the second year it was filling in beautifully. The third spring it was breathtaking. Came with a layout diagram which made the whole thing so easy. It was hard to say goodbye to those flowers when we moved! Mary Ellen, two words for you: Bluestone Perennials! When we moved to Virginia in 2002, our front border was a mess of overgrown weeds.

It was such a bitty little clump then you probably didn't even notice it. The yard isn't very impressive, as suburban gardens go. One mediocre flowerbed along the patio and the one big bed along the back fence where my mom did so much work in January. I'm amazed at how fast that bed is filling in, and how much is in bloom at once. But real landscapers & gardens wouldn't be particularly impressed. We're comparing it to the dirt and weeds of last summer, and it really does seem like a paradise to us. :) Can you believe how much it’s grown since you were here?

Can I fly you out to do a consult on my poor yard. The construction devastated the landscape and I am lost as to how to proceed. I love all of your flowers. So lovely.
