Oh yes, perennials and daffodils! Did I mention is has a large, fenced EMPTY back yard? I have to have some dirt moved away from the shop, the idiots (former tenants) added onto it a SUNK the building. I do have a very large pile of mulch, had some trees removed and got some extra chip since I seem to have started a frenzy of tree removal in the neighborhood.
So anything you have to spare will be much appreciated, and perennials in the spring would be best, I am in zone 5 now and it was mild last winter, never got below 10, so I expect that it will be horrible this winter. I remember some sudden, very hard freezes without snow when I was a child here.
And any lilies will be much wanted, named or not!
Sorry it has been a couple of days since I have been here. I have been busy and it has been hot. The porch is even more changed now but I moved most of the plants for the work and painting needs to be done. The underside of the porch will be white so it will be brighter inside the house, the porch is 8 feet wide and blocks much of the sun, which is fine when it is so hot but not so nice when it is cloudy out. Once it is done I will take another photo. I did start some black hollyhock in front of it and plan to put the white lattice down in front, under the porch deck. there will be a half circle planting area in front but I need a driveway through the front so Dad can park right in front. There was a horrible nasty Locust tree out there which I had the stump ground but it is not dead yet and even though I keep nuking the suckers I don't know if I can get it totally killed this year.
I do have a flower bed on either side out front. one is shady and one is hot. Both are fairly empty. There is one nice shrub in the sunny one and nobody knows what it is. Except for a couple of other mystery shrubs, lilac, one scraggly Oregon Grape and @#$%roses!@#$ everything else was dead, except for the trees I had removed. I still have some Norway maple, they are for shade and will not fall on my house.
I got a few things from the neighbor when she had her sewer hooked up and another has abandoned her house to foreclosure and I can have her plants left in her yard, but am hoping they take awhile to list it since I can't move much this time of year. I did get some Iris but I really want those peonies and clematis and hope I can get them in the fall.
Thank you so much for your support!
