oooooo, oooooo ... a midwest GTG ... sounds like a plan ..

I love ga-dens (from my secret garden) ... I can live thru your virtual garden ... you'll have to start posting pics!!

sometimes the tape (or paint) around the bottom foot works .. and wire around your bushes don't forget ..

start a journal of what you purchased and when ... and where you planted it .. and where you purchased it from ... and take pictures!!
