Re: Invasive barberries to be phased out by Connecticut nurseries

Shucks fuzzies! No wonder Lowes had such a big sale on 'em a year ago when I bought a bunch. Looks like I'll have a containment job ahead of me! Do you see this happening in New York State? Other New England states?

Re: Win a copy of Designer Plant Combinations!

WOW! Another beautiful book with stunning photos to offer me possible options to transition into a hoped for beautiful garden of my own, which of course will never be done! This is truly 'eye candy' for a gardener's soul yet I do approach it with caution since I love stunning simplicity more than voluptuous bounty. There's quite a line to walk here.

Though a course with Cornell named me a Master Gardener, a true oxymoron, I'm actually a neophyte, hardly knowing all there seems to be to know by any means. My earlier garden came into being through the generous plant contributions of fellow gardeners, though now I'm acquiring a more discerning eye, developing my own tastes, providing a series of generous curves to a sloping land (using lasagna gardening to ease my back) as well as rounding out all around the house, softening corners with Nine-barks or billowy grasses or trees, all to try to stay with Feng Shui guidelines too! Gotta watch those poison arrows!

I'd love this book! I'm also a book addict, actually having more than I've read, gathering info through the osmosis of presence!
