They probably wont do well in that location unless they get at least dappled sunlight. I've never had them do well in complete shade. Also, never let them dry to the point of wilting or they'll dump their buds.

Hi Lemon Poppy! Welcome to gardening & the Ohio Valley forum. You'll find that the folks at the Gardenweb Forums are pretty helpful and friendly - yes, indeed. Glad you posted! Beverly

Once Dancing Flame is established, it grows quite upright. It is not a good candidate for a hanging basket. One that used to be recommended for hanging baskets, but now is very hard to find is Swinger. It has yellow blooms and is very nice. I don't know why it is so hard to find.

Just saying, somethin's gotta give! Yesterday was a "lazy" day, no construction, finishing, or housework (other than dishes), but just running errands, taking care of the flowerbeds, and having the kids on vacation was busy enough. Today's the really busy day, I noticed that the kitchen, mudroom need to be vac'd and mopped, the FR and LR plus all the upstairs need vac'd, and even though I cleaned bathrooms Sat they need it again. In DH's defense, he works an office job all day, then comes home and waters, weeds the veggie garden, 1x/2x per week mows the lawn (and it's a big lawn) and often is working on our old commuter car (176,000 miles and I don't know how much longer it will last). Tonight he and DS have Scouts. On weekends DH tends the lawn and garden *and* usually is doing something in the fields or woods (though I question whether we really need a path cleared to the creek right now, but since he did it now I want him to cut out the old barbed wire so the kids don't get hurt). Next nice w/e we have hay to get in (if my dad cuts and bales it), and one of these days we're going to build a barn and then there will be more work to do with cows. I just tell him "Let me finish the house first!" Took a walk with DH down by the creek this Sat night (then made him take me out to Chinese since I didn't have time to make the stuffed peppers I had planned on). He found more blueberry bushes, the ones deep in the woods have more berries, maybe b/c they were more sheltered from the late frost we had. Dad mowed down a lot of the blackberries last year (I was mad!) but we still have canes bearing so even if it's not a good year for blueberries we should have decent amount of blackberries. I'm going to try my hand at jam. OK, off too clean b4 CIL gets here (except MBR, I'm still sanding in there so dusting and vacuuming will have to wait). Wish I had a dust-free climate-controlled workshop.
