And I am sure the looks on those grandbabies faces at Christmas is priceless!

Yup, I have 2 lavender bushes and the box elder bushes and a couple of salvia plants after digging everything else out; I will be replacing with above ground huge ginger planters in dark red trimmed in black to match the lava rock; I figure it will take about 6-8 of them (these are the size of a large end table and I will probably have to take out a second mortgage to pay for them) and I plan on doing iris', exotic grasses and johnny jump-ups in a few of them just to have some color in front (everything will be perennials). Oddly enough, I am finding that I didn't even get the "twitches" from being gone from slotting for so long and then going back to play (for that short time it allowed me). I came back home pretty bummed and decided OK, I need more time off. I will get my fix from lurking here and watching others win.
