So Shabby Pink - It's Planting Time !

It's planting time! I love it this time of year. Here in Texas, it gets SO hot during the summer so the temperatures are a treat --- for now.

We have trees that shade most of our yard so my plants have to be those that prefer shade or part sun.

Goodnight and happy planting!
