I had to go with more typical southeastern plants and shrubs which at first I didn't really love but have managed to get used to! We only have a quarter acre lot, not huge but manageable at least for the time being! Pottering is certainly keeping us sane these days!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-15644464360959654752020-04-08T08:35:50.578-04:002020-04-08T08:35:50.578-04:00Dear MARY,
