Tiramasu is growing fine, in a large pot in the shade. Fortunately all the small starts in containers did OK in the heat and the !@#$! squirrels have not gotten them (they even dig under my screens sometimes)
Razzle Dazzle aborted (MANY did here due to bad temp. fluctuations in the "spring" - or get frost bit, but it should be even bigger and better next year. It was a terrible season here, the usual alternating weeks of summer/winter (very hard on the plants) followed by extreme heat starting in May thru Oct. We are very nice this Oct but a bit warm up until now. Now it is just nice. This in no way makes up for the hell on earth summer in which many bulbs just keeled over early and some may be dead.
The gardener's curse = "next season will be better....."
Anyway I still have many lilies to trade, most are listed on the Blooming Auction but I have a few small starts not listed and possibly some starts to trade in the spring. All my seed flats/pot are going into the shop (insulated) this fall and I will take them apart this winter to see what is good to plant out. I used to keep them in a closeted off coal chute in the basement but can no longer manage the stairs well enough to carry them up and down.
I have many other bulbs/plants listed on the Blooming auction if anyone is interest in trades.
I am primarily looking for species seed/seedlings and some of my babies. I have also tried several Martagons here and they do well, they bloom before the killer heat strikes! I have several batches of Trumpets started from my own crosses to get planted this year and many more Western American hybrids to fit into my diminishing yard so have dug several lilies to make more room!
Sorry I don't get over here often, my body doesn't like sitting either........and my computer is old and ornery.....
Anyway anyone looking to trade treemail or email and let me know, before hell freezes over and I can't ship!
