here are the two sad autumnale

oh that is not good... can you email them the picture and request another ones???

I just placed an order with Select Seeds... found a gorgeous petunia Pretty much Picasso ... really different!

So did you get all your plants outside??? I pretty much looked at grass, grass seeds, what to do with my horrible lawn this year... I got seeds last year and never planted... also I have 2 huge bags of wildflower seeds that I want to plant in the back of the house and where I used to have some other beds and now I want also to do on the front of the house... I have to get my Mantys working again so I can clean up the area... not so sure how to do it...

So much work still!

oh no.. the plants are still sheltered.. we have a freeze warning for tonight.. looks like it might get better after the weekend

very pretty petunia you picked out

one of these might be it.. from 2010

But you have a greenhouse right??? I remember seeing it when I went there in 2010... can't believe it was that long ago!

So when do I get the agastache from you??? I have to look at your list again and see what else I am getting... any coleus??? I have none this year!

when do you want to get it??.. just let me know

I added 3 coleus to the list

Hi!!!!Just have been so busy gardening... oh I am so happy... the good weather is wonderful and my plants are coming along really nice... a lot still to do but I am so happy!

I am getting some caladium bulbs soon... my first time planting them... Allison, do you want some?? I will not know what they are but I will get plenty... will be more than happy to share with you!

I will call you so we can make plans for the plants...

thank you Kassia.. but I ordered a ton of them this year

My Bluestone order is shipping this week..woo hoo!!!

received my American Meadows order yesterday, their stuff is smaller than Bluestone's but looks very healthy...I should really get planting, before the rain

Just got the calladium bulbs today... wow... I dig not get #1 grade... but the ones I got are big! Really neat packaging too... I am glad I did... now I just have to wait a bit to plant right???

Just waiting for the Roses from Antique Rose and Select Seeds and I am done... well, no, I still need agastache...

I always wait to put them in the ground until it warms up... but you can always put them in a foil pan.. cover them with soil and start them inside.. they usually take a while to wake up.. I like to give them a head start

I stopped at an Amish home the other day. I saw a sign that said perennials for sale. Plants for sale is better than a yard sale sign. I winter sow so many of the plants I already had. But. I came home with three containers of plants. ($5.50 for all three)

A spurge, a bear's breeches, and more hens and chicks (I love these).



Later in the day, I gathered a garbage bag full of pots and took them out to her. I also gave her several of my hens and chicks. They were the red hens and chicks. I told her they would become green again for the summer months.

Don

nice Don!!!... I planted a bears breech last year... still don't see signs of life my honey loves them!!

Good deal!


Here's my new ones from American Meadows
Hibiscus.....ya think I'll see any flowers this year??? could it be any smaller????


gaura Passionate Rainbow
Coreopsis Comic Evolution
OOps forgot to take pic of the new dianthus starburst

might have been better to let them get larger in a container before they are Wall-E smooshed Jen

I will wait a few more weeks. I will plant them in pots to be easier to bring inside for the winter... I have an Elephant Ear to plant also. I am so dying to see it grow...

Went to Russel's Nursery yesterday with Deb (you may remember her from DG - Thumberlina (I think) anyway we had a blast... it's a gorgeous nursery with everything under the sun...you can't possibly not have fun there...there are very expensive plants there, but you can find everything.
So we went there to get a rose. Well I have some roses that I refuse not to have. I absolutely love Evelyn Rose - actually I wear the perfume from Crabtree & Evelyn and it's just my very favorite... so I was hunting for a new one to plant next to the one I have and bingo! Found one really nice plant grown in Canada which sounds good to me! yay... now I have to wait until I get a job so I can get a Abraham Darby to plant next to the one I have that is not doing that well. (see my Evelyn & Abe Darby are Fortuniana rootstock which are good for southern US... and mine are ok, but never really big like they can be... what a difference when I look at Palatine roses... well, one can't beat Palatine anyway!

Also got some Marigolds...love them!!!!
