I haven't actually met Sandy but love her newspaper column and have talked to her on here. I am sure we will meet sometime. I did see you all correspond on her blog. I am a pet person but I have to say I will plead the fifth on my priorities!

I am not sure the lantana will come back in TN but it has here the past three years for me. I leave it in a state of what I call the "dead look" during the winter to give the birds and other critters a place for shelter but in the spring I cut it back to the ground.

I don't have a deer problem here as I have a BIG fence and some big dogs. I do have a vole and mole problem. I adopted a stray cat for the vole, chipmunk and mole problem. My neighbor had named her Orkin for pest control and I can attest she is very good at-worth her weight in gold.

They are great in sunny areas. Here is Georgia you find them in most landscapes. They are evergreens that seem to be drought tolerant which is great during summers such as this one.

I...Yes, those are the exact types of plants I want. I am familiar with both. Maybe an evergreen for some color in winter which looks nice with snow? Then I guess around the trees I could plant annuals in spring.<BR/><BR/> I want nice-looking planters, since I want to keep them put (and they'll be heavy). What type do you suggest?

You are the first to comment and I appreciate it. I also enjoy reading your weekly columns and your blog is lots of fun-nice pictures and stories and I like the "message" you received from the cats you posted today. Too funny. I too love pets and have several sharing my garden with me.

I live in the country but don't have time to mess with gardening as much as I like to, so I'm trying to go over to simple shrubs and perinnnels, but I am planning on lots of container gardening, as I have a huge south-facing deck with both sun and shade.<BR/><BR/>I want to get Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995155684930238076noreply@blogger.com
