I did a search on Panicum North Wind, and scanned over the photos to find a blog. I like to see what bloggers have to say about plants as well as the folks who sell them. <br /><br />Gail, from Clay and Limestone recommended panicum(s) for my front yard. I am checking on the ones available at a plant sale I'm going to Friday. I like this one. How's it doing this year?

Love what you've planted too.<br />Hey you said you needed lessons to do a slide show when looking at my Snapdragon slide. Just go to slide.com and all ya do is upload some pictures you'd like to use and then just click on the slide show you would like. They do it all for ya. You can click other things to add another color or item or you can just use one as you see it. Easy as can be or I wouldn't be able to do it.

I'm not removing any plants but rather letting them die and replacing with drought tolerant ones if they require more water than natural rainfall supplies. This really isn't a hardship for gardeners because there is a huge variety of xeric plants to choose from.<br />MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-72149447096715410962010-07-15T07:52:18.590-05:002010-07-15T07:52:18.590-05:00Looks like your idea to plant in the alley is catc...Looks like your idea to plant in the alley is catching on Eileen! It sure makes an otherwise boring, and sometimes notoriously ugly, if utilitarian place so welcoming and lovely. How cool it would be to have an alley garden walk.
