I rotate them according to the seasons. Right now are daffodils and tulips and hyacinth. When they get rain-worn and sun-faded, I replace them. So much easier!Linda Hope Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362087612066936698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-42192693832478220522014-04-01T17:36:34.198-07:002014-04-01T17:36:34.198-07:00I want a full time gardener too- and not have to w...I want a full time gardener too- and not have to wear knee guards and have an aching back after weeding, planting, feeding and watering. I love flowers, so I can't let my short season go without creating something pretty to look out, but boy do I pay for it!Karen Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621736343432643472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-83429163803619615382014-04-01T17:25:43.906-07:002014-04-01T17:25:43.906-07:00I've killed all those same things, though I ca...I've killed all those same things, though I can grow spider plants and I did bring home a philodendron and it didn't die in the car.

Makes we want to visit West Tennessee. I used to think I wasn't very good with houseplants and left that to Ron, but now that he can't take care of them, I do. I write watering on my calendar.

But I can kill a potted plant almost before I bring it in out of the car. And I've finally realized that as much as I love bougainvillea that everyone here says you can't kill--no matter where I plant it, it dies. So I gave up.
