Cut Flowers
I am able to assemble one or two large cut flower arrangements from my garden every year. Here's the past several years' worth.

"Pretty Carolyn. This would inspire me to get one of those riding mowers. As it is, we're too hilly here and the lawn gets to be less and less (more garden borders)...but there is something very appealing about this look!"
Willis L. Johnson from GA Z8A left a comment for Carolyn Little"Very pretty Carolyn. Thanks for sharing and a good approach to find what works best in your climate/soil/sun conditions. Continue to have fun and again, enjoyed seeing your garden!"

My Garden

According to my 2007 journal, by 28 February that year I had Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis), Winter Aconite (Eranthis hyemalis), and Lenten Rose (Helleborus orientalis) in full bloom.

I went to Home Depot yesterday for some hardware items and I ended up buying 20 packets of flower and herb seeds and a bag of Ranunculus bulbs. It's really silly for me to buy seeds because I never work hard enough at starting them for them to be of any use. But this time of year it's so hard to resist the temptation to prepare for spring planting! I always think, if I don't get around to starting the seeds indoors, I'll at least put them in the ground in May and hope they do ok.… Continue

You're way overdue for a ribbon! Also, with all those roses you must have a very large rose garden...how about showing it to us with a picture?
