I love the smell of freesias too- it's sweet and peppery, all at the same time. We picked some nice plants to landscape our house- I'm very happy with the effect. We have a mosaic garden where the plants have grown together and blended beautifully, and then near the house we have more formal plants. The back is full of jasmine and rock roses and herbs. We are lucky that the weather here is excellent for plants- it's a little on the dry side, but I try to plant mostly xerophytic plants, and so we don't have a horrendous water bill, even in the summer.

<< It is much too early to plant things like tomatoes here, because the ground is still cold, and a lot of people make the mistake of trying to anyway and end up having to buy all new plant starts when the first set dies.>> I worked one season in a garden shop. In Central Illinois we get some grand days in April and have had frost as late as May 27 in my life. The word was to push tomato plants in April and early May, get to sell them twice. Not something I could do.
