1. True four-season interest. Not just evergreen trees scattered about. I want a Harry Lauder's Walking Stick and a Red Twig Dogwood or three.
2. I want plants to look full and mature the day I plant them. I'm forever tormented by deciding between allowing the recommended space between plantings to allow for air circulation and growth, and packing them in for immediate gratification.
3. An end to weeding. I recently put the new Black & Decker garden cultivator to the test, and boy -- did that baby perform! And with such ease! I'm actually waiting for more weeds to grow so I can use my new toy again. It's my new best friend. (Black & Decker did not pay me to say that, by the way.)
4. A big, strong man at my beck and call who'll do all my digging and hauling without complaining. And then I could just sit down and point, occasionally muttering things like "over there," and "a little to the right."
5. I want not to have to get a new cesspool next week. Not only will the process raid my already meager savings, but it will rip up my garden and make a muddy mess of the backyard.
6. A hot tub.
7. A hose that won't tangle, is feather-light but sturdy, and will recoil on its own. Anybody know of one?
8. Instant compost.
9. More Knockout roses.
10. And most of all, I want world peace, an end to hunger and equality for all. That, and an unsolicited massage at the end of a long day.
What's on YOUR wish list?

Jessica: I just finished reading your comments regarding the wild onions. Did you know that I have pulled up the wild onions for years and sauted them as if they were scallions. They are sweet and taste great. I enjoy your articles and wish you all the best warmest regards, Thomas Baydala
Hi Jessica
Not a bad wish list it made us smile.
Don't forget to sink the hot tub they look awful surface mounted.
Looking forward to reading more.
