mums getting ready to bloom
Comments (4)Mums are in that class of plants known as 'daylight determinate'. In other words they need a certain length of daylight to bloom. Here in 7,8,9 climate zones it is also warm enough for them to bloom during the necessary spring day length. Yes, let them bloom and then cut them back and fetilize. After the spring bloom is a good time to divide them, if needed. Just keep them well watered if you do....See MoreAsiatic getting ready to Bloom

Comments (13)I have the pots (from mums, and bigger ones from roses) I bought in the past. I'm going to try to overwinter the Hinkelhatz since that is rare and also late-bearing, cold tolerant type (I'll keep it in house overwinter but figured I wouldn't have problems setting out in May). But the Thai hots are pretty easy to find, I have more seeds, and they're very pretty so thought maybe someone would like them as house plants (and give them an early start in garden if they're interested). I have 8 Thais (and some of the serranos are pretty too). I would just have to buy more potting soil but it's pretty cheap. I did have 1 lady at market ask me what type her Vietnamese neighbor had in her garden b/c they were so pretty - even if they're too hot for Yankee tastes someone like that might buy one as a houseplant....See MoreGetting ready to bloom
Comments (7)May I suggest, if you do put them in the trash, that you include something about there being nothing wrong with them? I think people are suspicious when something is in the garbage that looks perfectly fine. Suggestion: "Free. Absolutely nothing wrong with it." OR "Free. Healthy. Overstock." I like the idea of bring them to the mall. You just might meet some interesting or appreciative people. Wish I lived closer! LOL...See Morekeriann_lakegeneva
