Last years gaillardia waiting for it to bloom this is from last year.

here is what I still have to do. Waiting for these to germinate.

Waiting for these to get a little bit bigger.

these are all zinnias. Each jug is a single kind of zinnia.

Here is my wall of plants that my dh made for me. Most of these will be given away to family and frineds.

Sorry about some of these pics we had to move everything since this weekend my son graduates from high school and his open house is gonna be here so I had to make room in the sunny part of the yard that we are not using at the moment.

18 is a pic of 2 differenet rudbeckias um I think the one with the green center is irish eyes I can't remember the name of the other one. It was a reseed from last year. 19 & 20 & 21 are all blackberry lilies. They will have tons of seeds this year. Plus they also reseed themselves as well. So I will have tons for trade. And thank you Paula

Thank you for the comments. The upper beds have already been changed late in the summer when I took out several plantings of bearded iris and gave them away and started dividing out the lower beds of iris. Pam: There are trees but nothing within 50 feet of the house. My husband is adamant about that. Most of the heavy woodlands are in the hedge rows. I did though save some trees that grew in the fields and replanted nearer to the house area and bought a few ornamental trees. Still not alot of snow here this winter. Will February be our wintry month? flowergirl929: That clematis is several years old. Planted in full sun with just the base mulched but I've read on the clematis forum others recommend Comtesse and I have to agree with them. Have you tried that one? I did have trouble with it showing yellowing leaves but once the flowering started, you didn't even notice it. Hopefully this year, it will not yellow again like this past year. Something to do with deficiency but you wouldn't think so looking at it in full bloom and it blooms a long time to. I need to pick up some extra USB Data Traveler Memory Sticks to back up my pics. Been reading about External Hard Drives and how they don't always work properly so maybe not the best solution. The USB Flash Drive seems to be the better solution for me. Julia

Hi Martina, it was very kind of you to answer my message considering the date of the original post. I checked out your photos on Instagram and, O, my God, you have such a beautiful collection of tropical plants. You Anthuriums are mind-blowing! I collect Calatheas myself but it's a bit challenging considering I live in Colorado which is not really a Calathea-friendly state. I have to work extra hard to provide enough humidity and other care to make sure they are happy. I was trying to find Calathea Princeps that you had in your old garden for quite a while now but to no avail. Is it possible to find Calathea Princeps and other exotic Calatheas in Florida garden centers or nurseries? I also saw another Calathea on one of your photos. I think it's either Villosa or Pavonii. What a beauty! Would you be kind enough to consider maybe trading or selling me a rhizome? Now I'm one of your followers on Instagram. Thank you very much. (I attached your photo of Calathea I was talking about. I hope your don't mind it )

wow!! What a lot of containers. The wall your husband put up is a great idea!
I planted out some zinnias today and they are miniscule compared to mine.
I also can't wait for pictures in bloom.

Thank you all for the comments. I did a total of 262 jugs I think plus I also had to resow a few that did not germinate or got drowned out by the rain. But I think there is like 26 different types of zinnias. Now I just have to find place to put everything. Luckily I have a bunch of sisters and a few in laws who like to garden. And I will posting pics during the summer. Thanks again.

Very nice. You'd better get out there and plant!

Whew, I can't imagine 262!

Wow! What a garden...I scrolled back up to see what zone you were in figuring it had to be warmer than mine and you're in zone 5 versus my zone 6. You got the touch and a LOT of it after seeing all those sprouts and actual PLANTS in those containers. What a great job. I have Zinnia envy and not just the Green Envy ones...LOL. I can't get enough of them but since I've moved some newly sown ones up to windowsills in my father's "office" to get them to germinate in warmth (40s for weeks at night) we've come to a standoff.

What a job you did...so impressed and you're going to have gorgeous bloomin gardens. Congrats on gardens and son's graduation. Awesome.
