| Here in zone 4 it is still cold and dreary, but Spring has to be right around the corner. Let's hear what new plants you Iowans are ordering. I have an order for miniature hostas "Mouse Trap" and "Whee", aruncus "Misty Lake" and Penstemon "Pocahontas",hosta "Enterprise" and hosta"Hyuga Urajiro". Anyone growing these? Have ordered from Song Sparrow for several years and always been happy with the quality. |

| I'm in Iowa, zone 5. We had what I am hoping is our last snow, today. I have two roses coming from Rogue Valley; Bleu Magenta and Charles Lawson. I am also putting in a Clematis (jackmani), 2 lily of the valley, and 2 bleeding heart. I also have delphinium, and daisy seedlings growing. Just ordered a whole lot more seeds from Swallow Tail Garden Seeds, I am super excited! Hollyhocks, Columbine, and Sweet pea. Hurry up spring! |

| I am in southern Iowa. I decided not to buy any new plants until I see what survived last year's drought. Toward the end of the season, I wasn't sure if plants had actually died or just gone dormant. Once things start popping up, I'll have a better idea if there are bare areas where I need to replace plants (either with the same type or something different). Hopefully the recent snows are a good forecast of rains to come and we will have a better growing season this year. Of course, this decision hasn't stopped me from perusing the catalogs and dreaming about the new plants I would like to order. LOL |

| I couldn't stay inside yesterday when it got so warm so got many things cut down and this evening it is snowing. Only thing looking green are the Iberis. I am ready to pull away mulch etc. from around mums, trycirtis, etc., but better not. Spring is coming some day, just not yet. |
