I would love in principle to recreate my entire garden with plants that would have been available when the house was built, but I know that I lack the willpower to resist some of the newer cultivars.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-1169771041789202202007-01-25T19:24:00.000-05:002007-01-25T19:24:00.000-05:00It was nice to see the progression.
