    Here I was thinking you'd found buried treasure too. :rolleyes: I think I prefer the above ground treasure you found in your garden though Cheryl. I've fallen in love with your Butterfly Milkweed. :smt049

    Thanks! I'm really enjoying seeing the flowers start to bloom. Makes it all worth while, doesn't it.
    Eileen.... we've heard all our lives that there is buried treasure somewhere on our land. My uncle said he saw it on some map way back when. He even came over with a metal detector looking for it. We used to around digging holes all over the place looking for it! So anytime I dig a hole for a plant, I keep hoping I'll find that treasure.
    Netty... yes... lots of green and this is WITHOUT very much rain. When it gets water, you have to mow at least once a week. Right now only about every other week will do.

    And a harvest of gold it is Cheryl, great pictures. I'm still waiting for my coreopsis to emerge from winter hibernation.
