Neat Knabe! I was just doing some ordering of plants for my garden. I take the cottage garden approach, very helter skelter. Loved the pictures, doubt if any would grow in Ohio!
I also grow a lot of my plants from seed. Have a little greenhouse set up in my side room of my garage.
The guys are starting to work on planting equipment. does that mean spring isn't too far away?

Neat sites, Knabe!  We have the Mariposa Lillies here at 7200 feet, they grow wild on the edge of the Ponderosa pine forest, only come out on a wet year, usually at the end of May.  I always look forward to seeing them...a true sign of sping!!!   COME ON SPRING! (dog)
