Thank you for your help!

2 feet?! These are probably around 8" tall. I'll still cut them down for the winter. Thank you!

I have some dusty millers in a flower bed from last year. Last winter, I didn't do anything to them and they were still alive this past spring, but they were really rough looking. For this winter, do I need to cut them to the ground? Or how do I get them to freshen up?

That figures! I was all excited, hoping for a deal. But I guess you get what you pay for! Thank you for the advice!

The few bulbs I picked up said to be planted in March-April. So would those be considered summer bulbs? If I do let them grow and force them into dormancy, how do I store them?

One of the local stores, Menards, has all their bulbs for $1.00. (marked down from at least $4.00) So if I stock up this year, will they still be good to plant next year?

Wow- those are really neat!!!

I tried to grow zinnias from seeds, but my lack of watering them put a quick end to that! I ended up buying some though and they have proven to thrive fairly easily! I love your pictures- you must have a great camera!!

It makes sense in my head, I think! :) I'll have to google thyme-like plants and see what I can come up with!

Wow... I'm impressed!! You've mentioned a couple of flowers I've never heard of, so I'll have to go look them up!!

We have an old set of stairs in front of our house. The stairs aren't used and are about 4 feet or so from the road. I thought some sort of flowing flower would be kind of neat, cascading down the steps... but I don't know what kind of flower that would be. Any one have any ideas on what I...

2"! Wow. I'll get on that right away. Thank you patandchickens!

That's a good idea! I'll have to look up how to make that.

I'm trying to figure out what I can freeze/can this year. (canning newbie... AHHH!) Is there anything I can do with cabbage or is that an eat-or-lose-it type of veggie?

Yes, Red-Hen that does make sense. Since our little house doesn't have very good sun-access I may have to get a bulb like you suggested. I'm glad I planted hardy little plants so maybe they can pull through!
