i think you are right boo about the natural tones . 95% of the seeds and bulbs i have bought to plant here are purples , pinks and blues . it will take a few years to get everything the way i want it so i doubt i will ever be staining the house . lol by the time i get done painting the inside i will be allergic to any form of paint . i have 12 gallons of paint waiting to be smeared on my walls . i have already put 3 gallons on the living room walls and a great dread has built up inside me making me wish i could afford to hire a painter . i used to love painting , but that was when i was young and didn't know any better . one thing i am worried about as far as my yard and gardens is to much shade . i love my trees but a couple may have to go if i don't get enough sun this summer . all of my favorite flowers are sun lovers .
