Help was nearby

Well, I actually got some much needed help. Now if I can remember it all. My beautiful Granddaughter pinkrocket helped me. I fear that she will be on call often.
As soon as I can I will take pictures of my barren garden. Then will experiment getting them posted.
As to my title page, there is a good reason for it. We threw out all the garden rules while expanding and editing our garden. We nearly always buy or get the plants before we have any idea where they will go.
That began many years ago when our 3rd son was in the landscape business. (well actually well before that but thats a different story). He would bring plants of all types for us to plant. Trees & shrubs mostly. He'd say here, you plant it, and leave. Then come back a year or so later and admire "his" work. Or say, "you should not have planted there "
We were blessed with 3 of our children being in the business of landscape at one time in their lives. Tim got his degree in Plant and Soil Science and was a landscaper for many years. He was very good at it too. He had to give it up due to injuries.
The 4th son got his degree in Agriculture Education. While not really in the business he does do landscapes for friends. He is a science teacher now.
Our youngest, our daughter got her degree in Horticulture and Turf grass management. She worked in the business for a year and loves it, but it didn't love her that much. She does landscape designs and plans to get an education degree this year.
