Good reminder on the mulch around the trees, thanks!
Chatty, you have ditches too? I've got those on two sides of my property. They do take a bit to mow. Bob will go length-wise but I'm too afraid of rolling the mower so I only go up and down. It does take a bit to get them mowed. I'd love to...
Well ya know Debe I never really worried about it with my hand mower but it was really a pain this past summer with the riding mower. Then it finally occurred to me to adjust the curve. It was a D'oh moment for me too lol!

Hey there Pappa!
I know I have had to soften the curves of the existing beds of our new home. We couldn't navigate the curves without coming at it from various angles and that's a pain in a riding mower lol! I'm also planning on mulching around our wee little trees so we don't have to mow right...
Laurie you had me going with that title lol! I was half expecting the posting to be from someone in Texas or some other sunbelt location lol!
Bob and I are visiting in Oregon laughing at the "storm watch" for this weekend. While we're in Oregon Iowa is getting hit with it's first winter storm...
mudpie,
What comes to mind are echinechea, rudbeckia. I had a plant in my garden called orphanage plant, they were small white flowers and lasted a long time in a bouquet.

Gardening for wildlife?

We were out on the deck one morning and our doggie was verrrry interested in this...
Beautiful chaos is my mantra...in life as well as gardening lol! Having three kids in three years will do that do a person. I like my garden to blend but not hide with its surroundings and sometimes that take me a bit to figure out how to achieve that effect.
I like to use easy care perennials...
I was gonna say, you mow 2 acres. Holy Moly! Our one acre takes a couple hours but then we have those water directing ditches on two sides of our property that take a bit to mow.
I love the Greek lady who just smiles and claps :-)
I have some ideas forming in my brain for garden beds (...
I really loved my roses too. My favs are the english roses, I love the cup and saucer shaped ones. We'll see what I can grow here Iowa. I'm almost more concerned about the wind than the cold. I plan on planting a couple this spring and seeing what they do.
