heronswood moving to pa.!!!!!!
Comments (57)Thanks, david 5311! I really do love it...and it began my quest for more doubles...not realizing how hard that was going to be (I realize now). It was one of only maybe two or three pots there, btw...the labels were jumbled and I wasn't confident, to tell the truth, that it was what it said it was! I decided to take a chance...and I'm glad I did. Occasionally, we get lucky! The thing is...I was perfectly happy with my other hellebores...until this double started...lol! I found an online place where you could look up hellebores (and other perennials..I guess a wholesaler?)...and there was/is this double white...not quite this type of double, if you know what I mean, not as many petals, but still neat and interesting. Anyway, I put in my zipcode and have now called all the nurseries listed in my area that are supposed to have it...none do...and none have heard of it...so much for that. I like that idea of national collections, too. Although I can't begin to think of how it could be done in a country as vast as ours. But, I'm sure there are great minds who can! Also, who really owns them? Well, just curious. Enjoyed the chat! Got snow here last night but by now, it has mostly gone away. Just when we think winter is done! March, always a tricky month!...See MoreHeronswood Catalog
Comments (2)I have it and didn't even realize it. They've changed the format. I guess it's a Burpee thing....See MoreHeronswood catalogue
Comments (15)Postcard rings a bell, maybe I didn't look at it very carefully. Also heard some griping on the phone about the color version but wasn't sure if they were saying that was all we were going to get - or if they knew that with certainty. Whatever! I wondered if we might see the regular Burpee and Heronswood catalogs combined when I first heard about the sale of the nursery. Picture, if you will Dan gushing in print about tomatoes....See MoreIt feels like spring!
Comments (15)Well, it doesn't exactly feel like spring anymore, so I hate to keep this thread going, but I guess I'll fill you in on the greenhouse plans. I had an unexpected debt get repaid, which I never dreamed would happen. So I now have the ability to pursure my dream of getting a greenhouse. I am considering purchasing a lean-to wooden greenhouse and attaching it's open end to a corresponding open end of an enclosed narrow lean-to shed that we would build to fit. The reason is partially due to the available space and location up against a northeastern evergreen woodland. Also I just need a dry enclosed workspace/ storage space that does not need to have lots of glazing over that part of the greenhouse. We may also use part of an end of the shed area for our mini hen house. It will be very close to our house and visible just out our back windows where we see the woodland. Currently our hen house and run are there along with our bird feeders, bird shelters etc which we enjoy looking out at. We also want the style of the structure to blend in with our house and the neighborhood. I have looked at web sites for Sturdi-Built, Santa Barbara, and ***** (Thujabuilt) greenhouses. [the site would not let me post the real name for some reason] Do you know of any other wooden greenhouse builders to consider, or pros and cons of the above? There is a possibility that a dark green enamel frame might work/could be considered, if we can use some wooden framing at the corners etc.-- has anyone seen anything like this? Thank you very much for any help, ideas, pros and cons. I have also posted this on the greenhouse forum. Judy...See Moredanita
