Hi Maggie, My friend told me this site, ask me to visit you because I also have a 'Maggie Garden' (blog version only) LOL My dream is having a beautyful garden like what I saw at your homepage. However, very limited land in Hong Kong and also expensive, we cannot own a garden unless you are extermely rich. So, I just have a blog called 'Maggie Garden'. Enjoy to visit here, keep up your good job :)

What an absolutely beautiful garden you have. It is very difficult here to garden because of our heavy clay soil as all the beds have to be raised, but now and then I will have some type of bloomer. Glad to know you may allow visitors in 2006. Keep up the beautiful site. It is quite a pleasure to see and read.

Maggie, Just saw Larry here. He says you are working on a series of books on gardening. Is one about killing off the Bermuda grass in your beds, I hope? HA! Hope your garden hasn't suffered too much this summer. This time of year I am about ready to chuck it all and move into a loft apartment because the only thing that seems to be thriving is the Bermuda. Even my natives are suffering. I am excited that you will be offering tours of your garden next year. Maybe O Sales Group can request a tour at some point. Keep me posted on your book series as I always need another gardening book or two if for no other reason than to look at the pictures of gardens and ponder the possibilities. I miss your monthly strolls, but understand writing comes first. Keep up the good work and if you have any cast offs I am sure Larry wouldn't mind delivering them to Omni since he is near here so often. HA!!HA! Cordially, Becky Christopheron

Maggie - your site is beautiful - and I thoroughly enjoyed every month stroll and every blossom. I have forwarded it to all my gardening friends - and to others I am in touch with from our Eastcote days - I am so proud of you - and how did you get all those birds to sit together and hold still?,,,Gail

I spoke with Jane Bruckner today (we are both nurses, Master Gardeners (I am TCMG '99), love beautiful gardens, etc.) and she said I needed to "visit" your website and tour your gardens! They are beautiful and make me wish I had more time, energy, and resources to put into my garden. Thanks for sharing them with all who want to see them.

Maggie, Fortunately for me, when I was an Intern in 2003 for the TCMGA program, I saw your lovely garden when it was on tour. I still have the pictures I took. I have always enjoyed your articles and this week decided to look at your web site. The stroll was wonderful and I could picture the areas you were describing. Wish I had looked at you site sooner! I immediately e mailed some friend to share it with them. I plan to redo my strawberry pot after reading your article. I have been working on a perennial garden for over a decade now, and love every minute spent outside. Thanks for sharing your garden! Mary Nell Hubbard

hi Maggie, i have so enjoyed looking at your garden, to be truthful it has almost brought me to tears. see i live in dubai (desert) in a high rise building on the 47th floor where the windows dont even open and not only do i feel like i am suffocating, but i miss my old garden in south africa so, so much. looking at your pictures reminded me of the excitement of waking up in the morning to rush outside and put apples and seeds out for all the waiting birds, then sit with my coffee, just watching them with my lovely warm cat on my lap. i miss it all so very much. thank you for the small escape, i will definitly be back to visit again, love shelley

I moved to the Ridglea area of Ft. Worth from East Dallas. In East Dallas, there's a passion for gardening with native plants and color. In Ridglea, a boxwood passes for color. I was delighted to find your site and would appreciate hearing from you as to garden designers in the area you like. I hope to turn my drab yard into a true garden come spring.

You have everything I wish for... esp. the olive tree and mediterranean plantings! I've been told olive trees cant grow here, and I've been frustrated trying to get my lavender to survive, but I'm learning how to deal with our soil! You are truely an inspiration!

We've got Klingons in our garden!!! Any tips? PS. We found your virtual stroll very enlightening
You should try this one - an affectionate spoof series on Star Trek & TNG called "Star Shop: The Next Checkout". Soundbytes a real laugh - gotta buy it!!!

Star shop is a Vintage Parodies Production. Offering a series of humorous radio plays that parody the famous exploits of Star Trek and The Next Generation. Featuring Jean-Puc Cashcard, Commander Wart and Ensign Wesley Grocer the characters find themselves in a series of moral dilemmas and dodgy commercial exploits. They're in danger of losing the plot as actors walk out as their costumes become ever smaller.

Your comment on spreading corn gluten in the powder form is the preferred method? I am about to find out as I have been looking for a lawn product to control weeds other the Truegreen pesticides and was really hopping on Corn Gluten, however to buy it is another ball game, expensive. I found someone that will sell it to me for $17.00 a 50 lb bag however it is in the powdered form I think, I am picking up in a couple of days. Thanks

What a lovely web site! I really enjoyed my visit. Here in Ireland we take gardening for granted. We just get out there and dig soil that is deep, rich and fertile. Congratulations to you in overcoming the environmental constraints and producing such lush greenery, and painting the garden with flowers, in Texas. I LOVE violets, and having read how much effort you put in to make a home for yours, I will treat my own varieties with more respect! Keep up the good work Maggi. With your permission I will link to your site to make revisiting easier and to help spread the word about your magnificent creation, and to make others aware of what HAS been achieved in such inhospitable conditions. What an inspiration!

Our grand daughter and her husband bought an older home in the Berkley section of Fort Worth. All the trees and plants were very well chosen by the former owners. Last summer, when they moved in, there were two huge, wide rose bushes with tiny roses all over them. They probably should have been trimmed right after they stopped blooming, but the kids were too busy with other projects at the time. I think that they are an old fashioned variety of roses, but I know so little about roses. We are wondering how far back should we trim them now. They still have most of the old blooms on them. We would love your help if you have any spare time. Many thanks, Jeanette

Just found your site when I was looking for hints for growing fab tomatoes. Obviously we do not have the climate here in Wales that you enjoy for the best results -but I do have a greenhouse and I intend to follow your guides. One tip I have come across says to cut off the lower branches when the plant is young (with scissors) and so enabling the plant to be buried deeped and a larger root system will develop - hence a stronger more productive plant - do you agree?

Dear Members of the Garden Club: I teach a graduate class in literature in Ireland every summer. I am also a member of the oldest garden club in Wisconsin, the Sum-Mer-Dels. When I'm not teaching, I'm looking at beautiful gardens, so I decided to plan a tour of Irish gardens last year. I had 20 participants from across the US join me. I am again conducting a tour for 2004, June 30- July 8. If anyone in your club is interested in more information, please contact me at kninneman2@yahoo.com Please include the desire to know more about this week's tour, as most of my emails are directed to me regarding my teaching, or the golf week in October, and I wouldn't want to send you the incorrect info regarding the garden tour. Thank you so very much, Kerry Ninneman, Oconomowoc, WI

Sorry that it has been so long since my last visit. Your site is a great place. I have moved from my South Burlington rental of 12 years which became known as Impressionist Garden. Yes it was difficult to leave my 14,000 sq ft garden but I always knew at some point I would have to. This is my first year with out a garden at the new home I purchased in the mountains near Jay Peak Vermont. Be assured that my setback is only temporary as "Impressionist Mountain Garden" will be my next challenge to out do my last garden--at least I am hopeful! At least the artwork from my last garden will live on via Cyber Monet--yes my artist name. Maggie my friend take care and again sorry it has been so long since my last visit to your wonderful site.

Saturday is my favorite Star-Telegram day because of all the articles on Gardening, and yours are always so interesting and informative. The picture of the flower that is with your article last Saturday....is that really called a Hollyhock? I have that flower bush in four shades and I have always thought it was called perennial Hibiscus. Also, I thought that sometimes it is called Rosemallow. I would sure like to hear from you on this. Many thanks.

Maggie, I could kiss you! I am a 90% organic gardener who resorts to chemicals as a last resort, and then tries to use the least toxic alternative. Your column today in the Star Telegram about weeds was exactly what I needed. I've done fine without pesticides, but when I gave up pre emergents this year I was overcome with weeds. I spent a king's ransom on a pint of Image only to torment my crop of nutgrass. My beds are full of bermuda even though I have St. Augustine. Anyway, thank-you, you're a life saver! Lee

I have a bougenvilla that has stopped blooming (of course,I know they are not actual blooms. But,instead of the usual pink and green it is only green. What should I do? I let it dry out between waterings, but doesn't seem to help. Thanks

Enjoy reviewing your column in the paper and reading through your website. Is there anything you can do to stop the pop up adds(such as the Dell one flashing up above) at your site? I find them very distracting and invasive towards my own privacy. I try to avoid such advertisement targets. Thank you Ms. McNeely for your wonderful articles and education in the garden.

I realized the link I gave on the last message wasn't as appropriate for your site (although I know of your love for cats and dogs :) ) so here is one a little more in line with flowers and photos. Alas, my sites aren't as impressive as yours, but I know Larry has been computing long before the rest of the world knew what a computer could do (small rationalization to make myself feel better!) I have continued with my love for flowers, although on a smaller scale. I have focused on adding some wildflowers to the scene, with bluebonnets, mexican petunias and red poppies scattered throughout the garden, and my newest favorite rose is Belinda's Dream, which I notice you mentioned in your rose forum! I'd love to get together again sometime :)

My goodness!!! Visiting your site was like finding an old friend - wait a minute, it WAS finding an old friend!!! For the first Saturday in a long time I sat on the patio and read the entire Star Telegram. While admiring the photo of the vaguely familiar garden I looked to see who the author of the article was, and lo and behold it was Maggie!!! I have no idea how long you have been writing for the ST, but based on your message forum dates I would guess it has been a couple of years now. I am so tickled to find you here and rediscover all of your wit and garden wisdom! I remember your yard in the beginning stages when it was a vast grassland with an aging weeping willow, and saw the beginnings of your dreamed English garden. At that point our daughters' school years ended, and our contact as well. I love your site and look forward to finding ALL the answers here! Hello to you and your family :) :) :)

So glad to find an organic resource. Now that I have a computer I can research more and your newspaper articles and web site makes my mouth water. I am a new home owner and have for years gardened all my rental properties. Now I have my own yard to work and experiement with. However, "the clay" soil is a true challenge. And I am with spade and shovel in hand with my organic soil and compost fighting a losing battle. Any suggestions other than gas powered equipment? Thank you for your time, Anne Mattern

After having dabbled in gardening all my life (my Daddy always had a triumphant vegetable garden covering 2/3 of our backyard), my husband and I bulldozed our barren back yard and made my garden. It is fabulous and I have become hooked... studying, reading, and digging to my heart's content. Now, only my little granddaughters can tear me away from the soil and blooms....oh, and the dreaded garden mouse that enjoys scareing the "petunias" out of me!

MAGGIE: Your garden is absolutely beautiful and I wish it was mine. A really important question: On your homepage page, you show some leaves, a large rock and a spray of rosy flowers on stems. Please, can you tell me the name of the flowered stems you show on that page. I think I have some of that plant right now, just picked from my son's new house, and I can't identify. The buds are clustered in threes, five petals, and a beautiful coral pink color, leaves are smallish, greenish red, and I think it's beautiful. Would love to order one but no idea what it is called. Could it be flowering quince? I would be so grateful to hear from you if you can help. I do believe it is pictured on your home page. Thank you so much for any help. Marianne

Long time no see. Lost your address due to computer problems and finally found it again. I built a temporary greenhouse to cover a pond in out backyard and covered part of our flower bed. The main reason for the greenhouse was to help winter over some water plants. A lone Texas Bluebonnet was enclosed in the flower bed area (along with several other plants). It is in full bloom as of Jan. 9, '02. I moved a couple of other bluebonnets from our front flower bed and they are growing well. I noticed today that there are volunteer bluebonnets coming up. Lantanas in full bloom as well as a verbena which was planted late last spring to replace a plant which didn't make it through our early hot dry weather. Have just started going through your site again and am enjoying the pictures. What camera do you use? I am using a Sony 2.1 megapixel and getting good results. Macro shots are really good. Have a pic of a water lily blossom interior taken at about 2 inches which is good. Keep up the good work and tell Larry his website work is really good. One of my high school classmates lives in SW Fort Worth and I think he isn't too far from you. Spencer D. Coleman, 4308 Springbranch Drive. He is an African Violet grower and has a 3,000 tree pecan orchard North of Fort Worth.

I really loved your article "Listen to your inner garden yens" from the FWST(12/8/01). Everytime I smell a Pine tree it takes me back when I was a little girl visiting my aunt and uncle in East Tx.There is something about the wind blowing thru those tall pines. Thank you for taking me back to some of the best memories of my life. I wish I had more pines in my yard,but sadly it seems all I have are those darn oaks. Sorry this is so late in coming to you. I am the #1 procrastinator in the world. sincerly,Anita Ellenberger

My co-worker, Glenda Page, told me that you had talked to a group of Master gardeners. I was wondering if you would be available to speak during the noon hour for a small group of Burlington Resources employees during the spring (March or April)? It would be a very informal setting with the employees bringing their sack lunch. We are an independent oil and gas company located in downtown Fort Worth. My phone number is 817/347-2612 if you are interested and wish to discuss further. Thank you.

I just love your site! I've accessed many of these sites, but none so great as this one!The canna plants are so beautiful. I'd like to plant them in the back corner of my yard. This area tends to get wet during Winter heavy rains and it has some clay soil, too. When should I buy the canna bulbs and plant them? I, also, want to transplant a Crepe Myrtle that's planted in a small area (4-5') with the house on one side and sidewalk on the other. It's about 15-20' high with multiple trunks. Is that a "doable" task? When do I cut the foliage off and divide my Irises and Lilies, including the huge Crinums? Thank you for your assistance. T. Boone

You have an incredibly well put together web site and garden. Our climates apparently are quite similar since we have the same things blooming at this time. Late winter, early spring are the highlights of my garden as I have several forsythias and hundreds of daffodils blooming in my garden. I also have a couple of quince, and I have found that if the winter has been mild enough, my anemones bloom before anything else. Since this one has been a little colder than normal, they are just now starting to bloom this year. Thanks for a great web site. -Eric

Hi Maggie! I just discovered your site today. What a wonderful and inspiring way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon. I hope to meet you one day, maybe at Clark's Gardens..... One thing I would be especially interested in is how you water all your gardens....do you have an irrigation system? That is always the problem in Texas, except for this Spring!! Thank you for your Star Telegram articles and for this beautiful site. Linda

Maggie, my grandmother has attended a few garden club meetings and has been very impressed with your skills and has told me about your column in the Star-Telegram. Your website is very impressive. I thought I could use this as an opportunity to see how Callie is doing. The last time I saw her was at my wedding almost 3 years ago in June. Is she still working/living in Fort Worth? We have lost touch over the years and I would love to just know how she is doing. I am a dietitian at All Saints, love it...have been married for almost 3 years, things are great. No children yet, but we aren't in any hurry! Hope all is well with you. I hope to hear from you soon. Does Callie have an e-mail address? Thanks, Carrie Do you remember me? I was friends with Callie through high school? I'm not sure if you would recognize my name.

Was surfing looking for help on planning a hedge for an urban nightmare site, and thought I would see what I could see.There is a school next to us. They tore out the privet hedge that had been there for 50 + years and put up a chain link fence...great for safety...horrible for looks. We have about a foot or less of sandy dirt on our side of the fence. We are in NYC, Riverside Drive is VERY windy so, no space to speak of, super windy, chain link fence and poor soil......help. Any ideas? Thank you so much for your site. Jude Hunt

Hi, several of our office staff visited today with Larry in regards to his doing computer work for us and in that conversation I mentioned that I had formally been a floral designer for some 20 years. He was nice enough to give me your web page address and I am IMPRESSED. Your gardens are beautiful and your early years in England sound fabulously beautiful and colorful. ' I also have been in a beautiful country with fabulous flowers. In 1991 I had the good fortune to be asked to be the designer for the flowers at a wedding in Australia and WOW! Those were some of the most beautiful flowers I have had to work with. Also, visiting their florist and working with the Australian designers was a complete delight. I hope to see your gardens some time in the future. Regards, Gail Adams, Dallas, Tex.

Dear Maggie, I have really enjoyed your site! I am now motived beyond my abilities. Your hard work and willingness to share you gardening experiences with all is greatly appreciated. This is may first adventure in looking up gardening infor on the net and I feel I have stumbled on a goldmine. I'm in the process of creating heirloom flower beds for the "Shattuck Windmill Park and Museum" in Shattuck, OK. We would like to keep the beds planted in flowers that would be appropriate to a NW Oklahoman homestead some time around the beginning of the 19th century. Our climate is hot and dry plus the soil is a sandy/cleiche'. There is water available but the volunteers are few to make sure that all is watered regularly. Some plants we are considering are the Iris, Lilac, Daylilies, Four O'Clocks, Holly Hocks, Bacholar Buttons, and Trumpet vines. All these seem typical to old homesteads and grandmas flower beds. I hope they are appropriate. Your site has been helpful but I could sure use more information and am very open to suggestions. This park has been featured in Southern Living and is becoming a known attraction for this area. Tour buses from OK City included this as a stop often especially in the fall. The park features several types of vintage windmills, a soddy dugout, and a recently restored homestead house. Thank you for the information that I have been able to reap thus far and I hope to receive more soon. Stop by and visit us if you are ever near our neck of the woods. We have had visitor from every state in the nation except maybe 2, I say maybe because that may have changed since I last asked.
Sincerely, Debbie Ivie Debra D. Ivie <ivies@pldi.net>

Maggie, I am SO-O-O impressed with your web site. I'm not one to spend much time on the web. I'd rather be gardening. This morning, however, I couldn't sleep, from anticipation of your plant swap tomorrow, so I decided to brouse your site. I haven't nearly explored all of it, but I am thrilled by what I've seen. What camera do you use to make the photos of your flowers? I've never been satisfied with photos I've taken of my garden and I'd like to be able to share my garden with those who can't stop by in person.
See you Saturday. Mary Ann Mary Ann Parrish <maryannparrish@juno.com>

Hello Maggie, Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner but have been covered up with Grandchildren. I dearly love them but I am in dire need of time in my garden. Many of my hostas are coming up and they need to be treated for slugs...We got behind last year on treating them and had pretty big slug damage. I don't know exactly when I will be in Ft.Worth again but I will give you ample time and will call you a week or so in advance if that would meet with your approval. Looking forward so to meeting you and your garden. Thank you for the invitation,

Maggie, So nice to hear from you. Loved the site and will be back many time. I noticed on the site several people asked where you were located but didnt see any response to the question. I know you are in the area somwewhere, but coulndtt figure out where. My wife and I would love to attend the Swap Meet. We have quite a little garden adventure going here in FW. Can you tell us where the "swapping' will take place so we can see if we might be able to go? I loved the detailed info about the plants and knowing that you are in this area gives you info more credibility, cause we all know what a challenge it is trying to garden in N. Texas during the summer. I learned a lot about the early spring growing season. Gonna try it right now, we're off to get some seeds. Thanks again..regards

We went on a Historical Garden Tour in Savannah last summer and the guide became my new friend and she just emailed me your site - it is fabulous!!! Llano is in Central Texas and we live in a 100 year old home on five acres on the Llano River three blocks from the Courthouse. I am starting an English/Herb Garden on the side lot. I have just planted 4 Cherry Laurels and a Leyland Fir. I will have lots and lots of hedges and have been agonizing on what to plant for hedges/borders. I first thought rosemary, then boxwood and now am about to go with yaupon holly (supposedly it grows faster than others). I can't decide on where to use the dwarf or the larger. Your site is a goldmine. What city are you located in?

I live in the Dallas area, and am a hopeful herb gardener, wanting to break up the small, boxy sameness of the suburban yard. Also, I am a lover of English gardens, especially the cottage garden, so I hope to have an unruly blooming area similar to that. So thanks for the "progressive" photos of your yard; it gives me hope that in 6 months, my garden could change my home's setting as beautifully!

Thanks Maggie for a wonderful stroll thru a most very lovely garden,and what great ideas! I started my garden 2 years ago and cannot find a tree, flower, plant, bird, butterfly, frog,or any wild creature that I just don't love! I am now a garden addict. I also take loads of pictures but do not yet know how to start a site so I can share with others. When I figure it out I will certainly let you know. Thanks again for a great visit. I did live in Fort Worth for a couple of years and fell in love with your bluebonnets! Am trying to grow them here, but not doing so good. Is it true that it takes a couple of years to get them established? From Donna in the garden of Eden.

Here's wishing you much luck and pleasure turning that mud-yard into a garden, Sujane! At least you won't have to remove coastal bermuda grass in the bed zones! I have posted my reply to Carol, below, as there are some bed-design tips within the note that might interest you on edgings and bed-architecture. There is also a new-gardener's primer article on the December Come Stroll pages that may interest you and I shall create a new garden forum page to contain all this and future new-garden FAQs. This is a great time to begin a garden in our area. Have fun and take time to make some gourmet mud pies, cause gardening is our socially-accepted chance to legally 'play' outdoors again!
Maggie to Sujane
- Wednesday, January 26, 2000 at 12:55:44 (CST)
Thanks for letting us know your enjoyed the pages Carol! Since yours is a short-term garden, you might want to go for annual vines such as moon vine and morning glory. Perennial vines such as Passiflora passion vine and coral vine could be grown in pots to be relocated with your next move. Growing young trees in large pots could furnish the deck edges to give you the sense of a 'garden room' and could also be moved to your next home. They would wait patiently there for you to plant them into the ground of your new home when you move in a year or two. Your trumpet vine will come back for sure and may take over the entire yard if not carefully contained! Your tropical mandevilla and bougainvillea are very sensitive to cold, and are usually grown in pots so as to be taken in for the winter. Depending on which esperanza you have, it may be the same may situation - If you have the Tecoma stans 'esperaza', it is more susceptible to cold than the hardier form : Tecoma angusta, which blooms longer than the other. The salvia greggiis are great border plants for hot dry gardens and come in pink, red, coral, white and a new purple. They have some green foliage almost year-round. Evergreen edgings are a mixed border's best friend ... to keep the beds looking bright through winter. Creeping junipers, 'thrift' Phlox subulata, dianthus, 'lamb's ears' Stachys, and liriope are some great ones which also tolerate our hot-dry summers. Taller junipers and hollies are good evergreen bones for the winter scene. The yaupon hollies make great topiary medium for architectural structure within the border.. Most perennials can safely be potted up for relocating, and annuals from seeds are the most cost-efficient strategy for a temporary garden. Be sure to watch for our newest page, about to be published: a monthly guide to organic gardening practices for Texas. I shall add you to our mailing list to notify you when new pages are published. Here's wishing you a glorious 2000 garden and many more to come! Maggie

Loved your site, I'm always looking for ideas to incorporate into fy young garden that I don't know much about yet. I'm mostly into perennials, which are all dead-looking right now, but i've been assured they're not. I'm excited thinking about what Spring will bring to me, I'm expecting the garden to look very different from last year, as everything was new, small and choppy looking. Any ideas for fast growing vines with flowers? We have a nice deck, but no trees to speak of. We already have Trumpet vine, Mandevilla, Esperanza and Boganvilla. I hope everything will come back, it looks terrible now. Along the fence we have Plumbago, Lantana, Mexican heather, and various sages I don't remember the names of. I like a lot of color. We get pretty much full sun, it's very hot and dry here, but I water frequently. We aren't going to do a lot of construction of beds, etc, because we intend to move in a year or two, but I really want to make the most of what we have for the time being. Carol

I have just spent an enjoyable hour at your site as snow is falling and covering the ground. This October I bought a lovely little home that has not one bit of landscaping on the two acre property. You have given me some wonderful ideas, especially from your lovely photos of the cottage in Cornwall. Hopefully 5 or 10 years down the road I'll have something approaching half as lovely. Thank-you once again and I'll be back.

I felt so special me and my husband enjoyed it very much, in fact we did a little garden planning this weekend and we are going to go look for the bush that you had pictured in the Come Stroll article. Everything was very helpful to us and i'm sure all of your other Come Stroll articles will too. I look forward to them now every month to help us along.

John, your site is fabulous. What a wonderful service it provides. I will definitely contact you when seeking Irish gardens! It has long been a dream to visit Helen Dillon's garden and now fabulous to learn of other possible destinations in the region. Unfortunately, the wonderful custom of 'open gardens' is relatively unheard of in this country. I remember when we would often happen upon signs in front gardens that read 'Garden Open Today' over there, and there would be a discreet little box by the garden gates with the words 'thank you' (or even unmarked) for visitors to leave tokens that helped support the gardens. This garden and site could use one of those little boxes!! We do use the Yellow Book guide when garden seeking, where the funds go to charity, and of course the Nat. Trust. And we do hope to publish more articles on the glories we have visited. How amazing it must be to first time visitors to the UK to discover the enormous amount of gardens that are open visitors - or even just those to feast on while getting from destination to another! I can never get enough of it!!!!

Hi Irene, So glad you liked the garden! Send us some of your excess rain ;-) But even in these drought years, folks are always surprised to learn that most of the garden is watered no more than our neighbor's lawns ... some of it even less! Intensively enriched organic clay soil and other bio-friendly practices, along with established adaptable plants in appropriate seasons, no vegetable plot and very few annuals makes it much more possible to garden in hot climates than most would expect. We don't even have an automatic sprinkler system here. Regular composting is key and the sunny beds are blanketed with layers of newspaper and then topped with our mulched-up woody prunings to keep the soil from baking. And I think my best defense is that most important fertilizer: the gardener's shadow - something always needs grooming and fortunately, I enjoy that as much as watching the seasons evolve through the returning growths. Thanks for dropping by and for saying hello!

Hello Maggie, I'm the one who visited Graham and Adelaide's web site to find out about flowering shrubs and bushes. I very much enjoyed their site and I've also enjoyed your's. I've yet found an answer but, now I'm asking you hoping you can help me. I would like some ideas on what kind of bushes I should purchase that live year round. I do have a few bushes on one side of my house but, I would like to do the same with the other side but, I have no clue on what kind of bush I should plant. Also, I would like some other ideas on planting flowers that would be easy to maintain because I want a beautiful yard and garden but, I work full time and so does my husband. We are practicaly still newly weds I'm 18 and he's 21 and we realy have no clue about plants but, I do want to learn. I would send you a picture of my house but, we really haven't gotten around to taking pictures but, I'll definatly try to take some pictures of it and email them to you so maybe it will be a little easier on how to even start. I would greatly appreciate it if you'd give me some advice. Thank you.

Having lived the first 28 years of my life in the south of England I find it very nostalgic too. Just received a request from a lady in Texas in our guestbok requesting info on flowering shrubs and bushes to plant so we shall refer her to your site for local infomation.

Noticed Barbara Starkey mentioned I sent her to your site. Several others have told me that they enjoyed your site and would return. I was surprised to see you e-Mailed me 'Good Holiday weekend'. Hope you and Larry and all had a nice holiday. I have touched base with your site several times, but been too busy to do more than that. You mention your dry climate in north Texas. You should try gardening in Amarillo where we only have a little more than half as much annual rainfall as your area. I attended school in Stevenville and my sister lived in 'Fit Wurth' for over 30 years before returning to God's country. Larry, your work on the site is really outstanding. I started a picture album on the Zing web site, but haven't even thought about a web page yet. Gardening was excellent in Amarillo this year as we had a record rainfall year until this month. Will return and am recomending your site to others.

Thanks for your note Leila, so glad you found us ! Souvenir de la Malmason is always the first to open in the spring and is always certain to bloom right up to frost. It has been such a long warm fall here that many of the old and David Austin's are now opening their second year-end flush ... such a double treat! Since I transplanted most the bushes this last spring, they have been kinda scrawny this year, especially with the horrid summer, so this second fall flush is all the more wonderful. Belinda's rose and Othello are two of my favorites among those blooming right now.

Thanks Youmn, I have written the site with an emphasize on the chronological order of blooms in our area because there where no sources for this data. It was a challenge to sort it all out when first creating borders to continuously evolve color through the seasons. The site aims to share the results of this work with others.

Enjoyed your site! I am comtemplating turning a corner of my backyard into a small garden. We already have leyland cyrpress trees bordering the back yard and an "English Garden" seems appropriate. Thanks for sharing your garden. I will check back for some ideas. Robert

Good Morning Maggie, I almost hate to give my last name because I'm so afraid that those unlucky souls that have not seen your lovely garden up close and personal, as I have been blessed with, will be ringing me up in fury, and jealousy! Once again, your website has sent my mind reeling. I thought that the Lost Gardens were going to be my favorite BUT now I'm wandering by the stream at a (new) English garden and Helligan is gone. Thank you! Can hardly wait for the third! See ya' soon!

Have not had time to read and look at your web page thouroughly, but will be back. I am adding it to my Favorites so I can get back to it. We purchased a new home October '98 in the far Northwest area of Amarillo, in an addition which is located just into the 'breaks' which lead to the Canadian River to the North. The soil here is caliche and takes some management to create a flower bed. We have removed about a thousand square feet of new sod to create our flower beds. My wife, Clara, went wild when sowing wildflower seed this spring and just the other evening said "what a mess I created".

Your page is great. I will visit often. Being a (Fort Worth) Texas gardener,it is interesting to me learn of TexasGardener's successes and failures. I've had plenty of both. Originallyfrom the glorious soil and climate of Maryland, thisTexas gardening was quite challenging for me. Everything started comingtogether 5 years ago when I stopped using chemicals, started amendingthe soil with compost, planting native and acclimated plants and feedingthe birds. It took me 30 years tolearn that I was gardening for the chemical companies, not myself. I was especially thrilled to see that you included the wildlife section. Like you, first there were none and nowthere is an abundant array of little critters that surprize us daily. Thank you for sharing you garden and your experiences!

I really enjoyed the stroll through Glendurgan gardens. Withoutaccompanying text, I would have believed I was strolling through somebotanical garden in the tropics. It is truly amazing to see this gardenscenario in England. This was the first time I had seen the Roses in Maggies Gardenpresentation. Hats off to Larry. I can't express in words the beautyof the animation of those roses. It was mesmerizing!Had a big chuckle over the unnecessary soil prepartations made in mygarden. It was well put. I have often thought about these preparationsand what they and my natural rich soil have done. After one plantingseason, my garden looks like it was established three years ago. The web site is more beautiful and interesting everytime I visit. Myhats off to the technical and aesthetic artist, Larry and MaggieMcNeely, respectively. LOTS OF LOVE, YOUR BIGGEST FAN, YOUR SISTERCHEL!

I shall pass on your e-mail to my father, who is always delighted to see "friends from America." I am certain everyone will appreciate any inclusion of Glendurgan on your"Come Stroll" pages. Once again, my compliments to you and your husband on a wonderful reflection of your love of gardens and his abilities!

Two weeks ago Mikey brought home a note that he had to do a flower collection for class. He had to pick five flowers, press them in a book, glue and lable them. I sent him to the neighbors house to pick his flowers who also happens to be our landlady and a teacher's aid at his school. He picked an Iris, a bluebonnet (from her yard of course as to not get arrested, that would be awful at the age of 7) and a buttercup. If only I had made the time to come to your lovely garden and pick flowers he would have had the best flower collection as well as the most original collection in the whole class.

What a great site! Not only beautiful but inspiring since you transformed what most people would think of an awful site (TEXAS????) into such a delightful garden. I, too, have clay and bad weather, but instead of heat, I have 9 months of rain and live in a zone 6 cold pocket with miserable strong winter winds and ice storms every January that can demolish a tree overnight. As I was reading your journal, it was so heartwarming to see myself in it---I sometimes feel that I am the only nut that is so passionate about plants, nurseries, etc. Right now I'm building a flagstone patio (read: grunt labor, digging wet clay and hauling tons of gravel for a base)and having a blast. I plan to put a mediterranean type circle in the middle. Since you live in an area where these plants probably do best, can you make any recommendations as to a soil mix? I've heard if I mix my native clay with l/4 builders sand, l/4 gravel, l/4 organic stuff (bark, coarse leaves or whatever) that it should work. What do you think?

We met you at the Herb Festival in Sand Springs, OK last Saturday afternoon. While I was admiring your beautiful peonys, I mentioned that I have lots of fuschia-colored ones. When you offered to trade we went home to retrieve one for you, thinking that the festival would be there on Sunday afternoon, also. It was very disappointing when we drove to Sand Springs with the plants in hand, only to discover it was a Saturday-only event. I have never shipped a plant before but thought it might be worth a try. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Wonderful site - beautiful gardens. I'm just starting to build my beds from an overhaul of plantings that were there when I moved in (6 years ago!). If I can only keep the blue-jays and squirrels from eating every single bulb :)

Dear Maggie, I was reffered to you by my sister who lives in Texas and has been to your show in Stephenville. I am a single mother of four and teaches first grade and I never have time to garden. So when my sister told me about you I went crazy. The first chance I got, I sat down and looked at your website. What a splender it truely is! I envy you for having such a wonderful garden and time to do so! I am also very interested in your weather page. It so great and very interesting. I would like to know; how do you do it? You mention that you have two daughters a husband, where do you find the time? Then you do craft shows also? My stars! You are so very lucky. Now,I must end this letter so I can go read more, but please do write back! - Amber

Your garden is beautiful! Mine is in progress. We have yet to decide how we want it to end up. You are truly and inspiration. I met you at the Stephenville Plant Show and was also impressed with your creations which I have been searching for on this web site. I believe you told me that they could be found here, yet I cannot find them. I would like to get a couple of the sachets you had for sale that help you sleep. That seems to be a recurrent problem in our house. My husband and I have also been discussing future plans for a commercial greenhouse as a profitable investment. Also, like my garden, there is no set direction as of yet. Any suggestions are welcomed. We tire of working at jobs that keep us living from paycheck to paycheck that we really don't enjoy. Hope to see you again! Please keep me informed of future garden shows you might be attending.

Where in Tx. are you? I'm in Roans Prairie Tx. near Aggie Land and Death Row (Huntsville) I've been gardening for about 3 or 4 years now. It sounds like we garden the same way, trial and error. I live in the woods and wanted roses, luckly I have a few acres of sandy pasture to put them in. I really enjoyed your site, Thank you!

I liked what I saw. I'm new to the net so I am looking up web pages that involve gardening. I am looking for pages that explain how to design a garden. Do you know of any?

: Maggie, Thank you for sharing your garden with the world !You have more or less the same approach as I do. I like your thumbnails for previewing. I hope that more non-commercial, true gardeners sites , will appear in webrings. And thanks for your remarks about my site ! I was planning to update my pages today, because a number of plant and bulbs are coming into bloom but it has been raining all day with just 5 degrees celsius, so maybe next weekend. Thanks again and goodluck to you and your family!

Dear Maggie, What an absolute delight it is to visit your magnificent garden ! Your presentation, photos and layout are positively beautiful. It's easy to see all the work that went into your yard as well as your pages. You should be extremely proud of both....what a lovely labor of love. Thank you for making such a heavenly respite on the net, especially for those of us who share your love of nature. Yours is a site that I look forward to visiting again and again. Continued success with such fine work.
