Well, I would say this gives a new defination to "hi neighbor" LOL. That is just too funny. I still smile and look at that cottage when I go down that road. Those first days of true independence LOL. So long ago. My youngest is almost to the age I was when I rented it LOL.
Since you will meet hubby, I am not going to address the UV/filter issues here. Will just have you talk to him. One of the reasons I joined this group was to learn more, without driving him nuts. There are a lot of awesome folks here who are very patient and will help fill in any gaps you have, and teach you so much more through their experiences.
Aside from grasses/sedges, which I am still in need of, what are you looking for in plants? I can give you a few starts. A lot of my plants are young, but can always share some. Two group members were also kind enough to share some of their plants with me too ... Hubby just said something to me this morning that I should pot up some of the parrots feather to post to Craigslist. I have a whole kiddie pool full of it ... Couldnt believe CG wanted $10 for a 3-4" pot with 3 wimpy branches in it. I figure I'll STUFF a few pots, and offer them for $5 ... I need to mail some out to a friend, but I really have a lot of it. If you like parrots feather, I can give you your hearts content of that ... Dont buy any lilies either unless you want tropicals ... hubby has 6 colors of hardies, just need to wait for them to bloom to know which is which .. he has 16 pots going, and all of them will need dividing at some point this spring/summer ... CG wants and arm & a leg for them ...
I can give you some of the following ... Water celery, Curlie Mint, Mare's Tail, Pickerel Weed (got from a group member, so it is just taking off now), and Water Clover (got from another member, planted some, and still have some in the window - this is really young, but grows fast) ... Water Cress (you wont find this in the nursery - easy to grow) ... and in a few weeks, some pennywart (received from a member, and it is just taking hold, so need to wait a bit to take some) ... Let me know if you are interested in any.
Your MIL is over towards the Yarmouth line ... We're on the other side of town towards West Dennis Beach and the Harwich line. Throwing out the names of our little towns makes it sound far away LOL. Before the tourist traffic gets here, I'd say from my door to yours is about 15 minutes. So not ready for terrorist (tourist) season to begin! Memorial Day is almost here. So much for the peace of our little island (sigh)...
I'll PM you my phone number. It shouldnt take long to hook up.
