Before I lived in an apartment I used to have a lovely flower garden.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408633498198921799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31232156.post-16088925923923778262007-01-19T07:55:00.000-08:002007-01-19T07:55:00.000-08:00My mom had that same problem with her gardener whe...My mom had that same problem with her gardener when we lived in Spain. They were always pulling up something she had just planted or cutting something back so bad it never grew back. Most of the time they would replant things that they liked. <br /><br />My Dad one year trying to be helpful in the winter removed everything cleaning out. All of her hardy plants. Even the roses. My mom cried. lol. she doesn't let him help anymore. <br /><br />Where I am, in Oklahoma City it isn't too bad. Just a few miles west they are still without power and have been all week. Tonight another storm is coming through, but snow this time instead of ice. <br />The roads are still bad but nothing is shut down. Lots of car wrecks. Some deaths. I'll be glad when it all clears up. :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194684286766749312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31232156.post-28162337043305848982007-01-18T22:49:00.000-08:002007-01-18T22:49:00.000-08:00Thanks for understanding what it's like!

I've even had a friend write in Spanish, "Do Not Trim This Plant!" and plastered them on shrubs/plants I wanted them to leave alone. I didn't realize they were going to trim so I was unprepared. Their idea of "trimming" is not the same as mine! I guess the world should be glad they're not barbers!<br /><br />Have you all recovered from the storm? From what I've seen on the news it was horrific.Amazing Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788890988002911896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31232156.post-38694863363107771552007-01-18T06:58:00.000-08:002007-01-18T06:58:00.000-08:00why did your plants get cut down? that's horrible!...why did your plants get cut down? that's horrible!
