2011 CMN needs your help to get started

Crazy Plant Lady says
FALL is a GREAT time to Divide your Perennials . Get more blooms,healthier plants AND do a good deed!

Charity fund raiser, the CMN Garden Project, is Looking for the plants you need to divide.

How do you know if you need to divide your plants ?
Plants that

* are not full in the middle, that appear to be choking themselves out ...
* have taken over the space they are in,outgrown it and are smothering other plants
* came with your house and you want gone
* You love and are willing to share, Or
* you look at and say, "What was I thinking when I bought THAT?"


Maybe you'd like to help but do not know how to do any of this? Just ask... I'll help you, help the project... Advice via email and if need be (and feasible) I'll come show you how or, even do the dirty work myself!
