Don't have nothing on the rest of them, Maybe on some they get rebloom scapes later? Jean...See MoreSome of my favorite! How about yours?
Comments (13)Lovely photos there, you guys. Glad to see GardenerInWi come play with us in the hosta garden. Mike, love the hint of your water feature, look forward to seeing how you have it set up. We've had lots of water this week, but not manmade features. If there is a spot of blue left anywhere, I'd be surprised. A limb came down last night and struck my Jade Stone, tearing about 4 of its nice leaves off. But the crown is fine. Old tree limbs cannot take all this continuous wet heavy stuff. Later tonight I'll post pics I took today between showers. Found some bamboo poles at the river to hold up the heavy tall flower scapes on some of the hosta. Time for dinner now. Well, just ONE picture for now. The bee in the flower of Old Faithful....he stayed forever....See MoreThinking about selling my house,How do you let go of your garden?
Comments (20)I don't think I could do it, move that is. Not after 25 years of turning a nothing yard into flowers and beautiful shrubs. what I would suggest is collecting seeds from all of your annuals that you possibly can. Take cuttings of all perennials that you can and start rooting them now. If you wait any longer to start rooting them or taking root divisions, it will be too late to try and plant them in your new home. Maybe you should wait till next year and start the plans to sell in the spring. That way you will have all your annual seeds and divisions and root cuttings to start in your new home. Of course, you could do what a neighbor of mine just did. She'd lived in her home for over 40 years and moved into an in-law apartment with her son. This elderly woman dug up just about all of her perennials and annuals then end of july and moved them with her to her new home. She had to have had at least 200 plants with her. She did ask the new owners what, if any, plans they had for her gardens. They where kind enough to tell her they where going to demolish 5 of her garden beds to add on to the house and throw out all of the plants.!!!!! That's all she needed to hear, she started digging 3 weeks before they closed on the house. Yes she gave quite a few seeds and plants. No way where they going into the garbage heap....See MoreMy garden is starting to come alive - how about yours?
Comments (7)IMO, too much is coming alive in my garden this early. Coneflowers are peeking out with 6-8 leaves, salvia alive and kicking, sedum showing, roses budding, mexican honeysuckle putting out leaves, allium and rudbeckia growing, daylily putting on new growth ... and of course the henbit making its presence known where it's not welcome. :) Shasta daises still green and above ground from winter (after 3 snowfalls!), coreopsis and pentstemons still dormant though ... but the rest of it seems a tad early to me. I am waiting for the early March freeze/ice to set everything back to funks-ville. Even with the snowfall in the metro area this winter, I fear this enjoyable spring bodes formidable for a hot dang summer!...See Moreblackcatgirl
