Hi Jill, I only wish I had learned more about gardening from my mistakes. I'm way too impulsive when it comes to flowers and shrubs. I always think if I like the plant, then it will like me. You'd think I'd learn from this rejection, but I rarely do—I just go out and buy another one. I am just about to put my 4th or 5th flowering red currant in the ground in the same space where others have seemingly flourished and then had a sudden cardiac arrest. This spring, it budded nicely, and then it died.

A bit of venue might be in order, but I like it where I can see it from my desk. The birds like it a landing spot on their way to the feeder, so here we go, again. Mary Gentry
