New blog site.

Hello Fellow Gardeners!
I have a new site. Hope you guys will read my adventures there!
Can't wait to catch you guys up ...lots has happened in the yard but 3 family deaths in under 4 months have kept us way to busy to actually blog--but this weekend, I have committed to geting caught up on my new site. One thing I can say about gardening...it was a huge help, an outlet when all seemed so gloomy. Something to do with my family that helped us all relax and refocus if only for an hour at a time.

Questions about Lantana

Thank you all for the 'Get Well' wishes.  I am trying!!!  

Pam, I will make it out your way...some day soon!  Thank you for saving them.

So, while I am in bed; half asleep, half zone- out thanks to my meds, I decided to transplant my lantana.  But since I have never done this I thought I would ask my fellow gardening experts since I refuse to sit here and surf the net when I should be napping while my babies nap.  (Mommy naps when babies nap-always!)

:-)

Questions: 

• Can I transplant Lantana?  
  
• When is the best time to do this?  (I have been told not to prune this plant until the spring time and when it's showing signs of new growth.) 
  
• Does it have any special needs? 
  
• It seems to be a hardy plant and we love it's yellow flowers---how it attracts butterflies to our courtyard so we want to move the ones that have been planted around our trees to new beds along the front of our home.  Or would this be a bad idea?  
  

You know you're a Master Gardener When:

Most are true for me already!  Some, well, suffice to say that I love manicures and clothes and plants---they are true rivals.  

Enjoy!

Oh and I am STILL SICK!  It's been two weeks and today I was still running a fever of 102.  I want to feel better.

Yikes!

Wow, time flies! I guess the holidays with 2 kiddos and a husband on vacation for 2 weeks took all my time। I’m not complaining just can’t believe it’s been so long। I will publish my blogs today…just need to proof read and add pictures। Hope everyone had a an amazing holiday season!

Cheers to Gardening in the ‘08!
