It is a sure sign that winter is half over when all of the flower seed catalogs start to arrive in the mailbox! My wife loves to look through the catalogs and try to figure out what new plants she might want to buy this next spring. She tries hard to plant perennials that are deer-resistant. That’s a challenge, but so far she has done a very good job at it! We get a lot of compliments from the neighbors about her flower garden! And since they are mostly perennial gardens, they are a minimum of work. She doesn’t enjoy weeding, but she sure does love how the gardens look when she is finished weeding them!
