Couple days ago I was messing around with my bird feeders and I couldn't reach so I stepped onto a rock and just happened to look down and there he was....AWWWWWWWWWWW.......I screamed so loud the neighbor guy stopped mowing to come see the drama. Within a minute that sucker was gone.....and of course there was a hole in the flower bed, right where I think he disappeared.....so I am thinking that is his hole. Ewwww......think that flower bed will be full of weeds for a month because I am NOT sticking my hands in there. lol. The neighbor lady on the other side of me, just yesterday, said she saw a snake in her yard too that same day and that it was 4-5 feet long. Needless to say I walk around my yard, eyes WIDE open! Ok all this talk about snakes and I am freaked out again. lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652832782164271871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-82512350246848277732014-05-20T15:35:25.967-07:002014-05-20T15:35:25.967-07:00Total.

You are not only a total plant person, (I was going to say "plant geek" but I figured you might consider it an insult which it isn't, but anyway) you are also an expert designer. It's not easy to put the two together and make something wonderful. But you've done it, sista! ... Funny, I just had a comment about snakes too on my garden blog. I hope this isn't a bad omen. :) GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-70271625668875785552014-05-20T08:10:41.949-07:002014-05-20T08:10:41.949-07:00I've never seen a snake in the garden.

I'd love to see pictures!<br /><br />It took me 12 years to take out those rhodies, so I know what you mean about feeling bad about it. It was sad. I talked to them the whole time. LOL But they just didn't look good anymore, and where they were was way too hot. They'd get burnt in July and look terrible for the rest of the summer. I do still have the big purple one that was just a baby when I moved in, and I absolutely love that plant. I'm terrible about fertilizing shrubs, but there are specific ones for rhododendrons. You could try feeding them and see if that helps. Compost, too.<br /><br />Everyone keeps telling me they have peonies comin' out there ears, but you're all in another state. Such a tease! lol<br /><br />Everything you guys are doing sounds awesome. It's gonna be so pretty for summer!Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247379600555185331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-61587006266404820292014-05-19T18:10:10.159-07:002014-05-19T18:10:10.159-07:00Ha!

I refuse to go near the flower bed for a few days after I see them. I love gardening, but I don't care for the snakes and spiders that live out there. lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652832782164271871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-48829350357161868342014-05-19T10:56:38.425-07:002014-05-19T10:56:38.425-07:00GORGEOUS pal!

It has a few buds but it just looks so sad. Do you have any advice for me, how I can get my rhododendron to look better? I have lots and lots of peony bushes. Some so big they actually need to be split. Wish we could swap plants! lol Anyways.....I feel ya on the spiderwort. I can't believe where those suckers land in my yard.....and I too have them coming up in every crack in the sidewalk. I rip rip rip them out and before I know it they are baaaccckkk! We are in the middle of some serious DIY yard makeover. Putting in a patio walk-way, from our deck and going in three different directions. Then to make it look even better, my husband is putting in some flower beds all around the rest of the deck. While he is working on that, I am in the front yard, ripping out all the bushes we lost from the harsh winter, building rock walls and planting flowers. Fun times!!! Love gardening!!!! Enjoy your week in the gardens :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652832782164271871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-63294371652078183842014-05-19T07:08:12.995-07:002014-05-19T07:08:12.995-07:00Suzanne of Simply Suzannes at Home

Your garden is looking terrific: the clematis, the stunning rhododendron, the roses. I don't have the False Solomon's Seal. It's very pretty and I assume does well in shade which I have in abundance out back. It's great that your kids all have a little container garden of their own.
