It seems my gardens have gone from shade to sun, when I lose a tree, and back to shade when the next tree grows up a bit...the joy of old gardens.<br />I often wait to plant since I have no idea what is in the ground...some things return and others do not. I plant spring flowering bulbs in the spring rather than the fall just for that reason. <br />Loved walking in your garden with you and Luna.<br />Thank you.<br />SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-27537427250141856282010-05-17T09:44:12.934-04:002010-05-17T09:44:12.934-04:00You have a lovely dog blooming there amongst the g...You have a lovely dog blooming there amongst the greenery:)<br /><br />I was pretty amazed at how many hostas I have too.
