I understand that they don't do so well in my part of the south. In fact, crepe myrtles are known as the "lilacs of the south" but to be honest, they just aren't the same to me. (We do have quite a few of those however.)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-53594738089786116682010-01-15T00:33:06.212-05:002010-01-15T00:33:06.212-05:00wow! your place has come a long way in such a shor...wow! your place has come a long way in such a short time. it's looking great. do you have any lilac? i adore lilac, especially white.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-27989601377078289842010-01-10T20:22:42.367-05:002010-01-10T20:22:42.367-05:00Katrien, actually I have.

So like you, I'm feeding the birds and studying seed catalogues!<br /><br />Barb, yes, but both Dan and I love being outdoors. Some days I just have to get outside for while, no matter how cold it is. Transplanting makes a nice outdoor activity then, the digging definitely warms me up!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-62659375742861628882010-01-10T18:30:21.750-05:002010-01-10T18:30:21.750-05:00Wow, you been busy!!!!

Totally Awesome! It will be months before we can even consider doing garden and yard work! The ground is frozen solid and has been for ages. Right now my gardening and outside fix is taken up by feeding the birds and getting my seed selections ready to order.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-30770091143997977522010-01-09T17:52:23.259-05:002010-01-09T17:52:23.259-05:00Michelle, I admit we're motivated!

Part of it is because we love being active out of doors, the other part is because I love to plant things. <br /><br />Renee, I do count that as a blessing. There's actually a lot more I'd like to do with them, but probably won't get to it this year. <br /><br />Lynn, I suspect our ground is too hard now too. We have had some beautifully sunny days, but we aren't getting out of the 30s. So neat you planted daffodils and irises too. <br /><br />Bettina, sounds like you need a bigger place! <br /><br />Sue, I'm hoping the plants won't notice during their winter rest and in spring, will just start growing as though nothing happened. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-26648207889675034142010-01-09T15:27:37.212-05:002010-01-09T15:27:37.212-05:00That's cool that you can transplant in the win...That's cool that you can transplant in the winter.

But our ground is too frozen - I wanted to move some bushes around, but cannot because of the weather. Last autumn I planted a bunch of daffodil and iris bulbs.
