Cobalt blue and turquoise are favorites with gardeners. They go so well with plantings or as a feature to draw the eye to a corner of the garden.

I am dealing with a similar onslaught of afternoon sun in what was formerly the shady side of our house. The owners of the rental house next door finally cut down a huge bird-planted hackberry tree that was leaning at a 45 degree angle between our houses. It had to go and I'm glad they did it, but I will have to completely rethink Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621220516578692069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-13635452355405598532013-06-09T17:39:45.402-07:002013-06-09T17:39:45.402-07:00What a bargain!
