echinaceas new versus old varieties
Comments (19)1.) Pink Double Delight - Always blooms more and longer than the others. It's superior to all of them I've grown. It can grow in full sun or part sun. 2.) Razzmatazz - This one has been in a wet location for 4 years and always comes back and blooms all summer. 3.) Pallida - It always returns. I do have to spray it with Daconcil each May, but that's a small price to pay for such a beautiful plant. Pretty blooms on very long stems! 4.) Paradoxa - It is a dependable yellow coneflower. It returns each year and looks better each year. It's slow to establish, but once it does...look out. You will have big yellow blooms with such nice, long stems! 5.) After Midnight - As long as it's grown in a location with afternoon shade, this plant will thrive. It doesn't have the distorted petals of other Big Sky Series plants. 6.) Tiki Torch - Big Disappointment so far! The color is nice and doesn't fade, but the plant is not a good perennial. Only 25% of my plants returned after winter. They were all in a bed with excellent drainage. All the other plants returned too! I'm experimenting with it in a shadier location. I will post my results next year! 7.) Sundown - A nightmare to grow! Some years the petals are distorted. It does over-winter here, but what a disappointment. The blooms fade very rapidly to a pastel ugly color. 8.) Twilight - This plant wouldn't grow. It turned solid black and died and never returned. I didn't waste anymore money on it. 9.) Sunrise - A complete disaster! Distorted petals...Blooms fade too quickly! Plant returns smaller than the year before. HATE IT! 10.) Harvest Moon - Another disaster. Nice blooms when they first open, but they fade to an ugly pastel color too. Distorted petals. Poor winter-hardiness. Plants that do return are smaller than the year before. 11.) Merlot - Nice plant. Seems to be a winner. 12.) Coconut Lime - I love this one, but it does return smaller than the previous year. I'm waiting for it to bloom and will post then. 13.) Mac 'N Cheese - A very weak plant. If I were you, I wouldn't purchase this one yet. Wait until next year. This one is not going to impress anyone. 14.) Tomato Soup - A better grower than Mac 'N Cheese, but I think you should wait on this one too. 15.) Pink Poodle - The pictures of this one are staged. This plant has poor branching habit. You'll be lucky if you get one bloom the first year....See MoreVegetable nurseries in New Jersey
Comments (13)I have grown vegetables for about for many years and the best sugestion I can give you is buy seeds on line and grow your own. There are many good seed companies that specialize in heirloom plants. Then collect the seeds from your your plants to use the following years. By using the best seeds from your garden you will develop a seed bank of seeds that will become best for your micro climate. Also, make your own fertilizer using egg shells, bone meal, blood meal, etc. Also, make a compost pile and get coffee grinds from a Wawa or other coffee place to spread on your garden during the winter. Earthworms love coffee grinds....See Moreneed new england flower show coupon
Comments (9)Yes Ginny is right. I have gone for last 15 years and I think I only remember one time one of the supermarket chains might have had a dollar or two coupon if you bought the tickets there. I think it was for a mid week ticket but I haven't seen this since. I usually get my tickets at Borders so I don't have to wait in line. Do you have a Borders Discount Card? (I don't) May be you can use it on the tickets but I would call the store first and ask. We went Saturday and it was a real treat. I'll be posting on another thread with link to some pictures....See MoreNEW THREAD
Comments (22)I can only upload a one photo per post now, that started about 4 weeks ago, previously I could upload several. Also, I have to upload the photo first because if I do it after I type in my message uploading the photo last erases my entire message. That can be very irritating. And...its the same way with adding a link. Must do the link first, cannot have a link + a photo because to add a link will erase the photo (along with the type if I forgot and did that first). When houzz first started I didn't have any of these troubles. I have to use the 'Houzz Photo' button to upload my single picture per post. The one that says 'Photo' does nothing, no box or anything else comes up, nothing happens, its basically a dead button. I'm on a mac computer if that has anything to do with it, heck if I know but obviously they've done something different recently....See Moreolpea
