So far the only order I have placed is with Naylor Creek. I ordered Made You Look, Olympic Sunrise, Stitch in Time, Manzo, and Little Jay. I plan on ordering a couple of streaked plants (montana chirifu oba & galaxy) from Jims Hostas but it seems his site is not up and ready for 2009. Hopefully he'll have it up soon before i spend the few dollars i have set aside for hostas.

Have only placed orders for mini/small ones so far.
Naylor Creek had 2 that I wanted and they were in very short supply, Snow Mouse & Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, so I placed my order as soon as they posted their new website. Also included 8 more minis on the order. I couldn't pass up a 10% discount and Free Shipping!
Little Red Rooster, Lime Fizz, Pineapple Punch, Alakazaam, Little Jay, Dixie Chickadee, Little Caesar & longissima Akikaze.
Also ordered; Holy Mouse Ears, Dragon Tails, Country Mouse, Pixie Vamp & Blue Mouse Ears from 3 other vendors.

Since there isn't much available space in the garden, I only replace the one's that have disappeared or look puny. I usually have enough plants in my quarantine/pot-ghetto to take care of any necessary replacements, but if one appeals to me and is reasonably priced, I will purchase one or two. But any new purchases will have to serve time in quarantine, before being planted in the garden.

So what have you killed so far this year?

Did we have a worse winter than usual for zone 5? My 1 yr sweet autumn clematis hasn't returned. Another established clematis, type 3, didn't return. If it's Venosa Violacea I'm going to be upset, I have to check my garden "map". My container spruce, which I wrap well each year and made sure to water during warmer temps is really brown. My 2 year Fothergilla Major Mt. Airy died. My 1st year Willow Hakuro Nishiki looks completely dead. My 3rd year Golden Spirit died back to the snow line, but this didn't happen in prior years. My "Grace" came back a real winner, no dieback at all. My Sombreuil Rose bush, which I usually bury the crown, wrap in burlap and cover each winter, though the only thing I did this past winter was cover the crown and nothing more, returned with very little dieback to my amazement. Better than any other year. Go figure. Some hostas, which I was warned last year after purchasing that they aren't hardy, never to be seen again. Some groundcover sedum which probably never had a chance to establish -- nothing. Also lost a Weigela My Monet, thankfully still under warranty. Very Bad year!!!! Oh, and don't fret about the Asters. I had several varieties and they've all disappeared. I suspect it's the rabbits.

OOOOO...what have you ordered so far!?

Venerable: 1. commanding respect because of great age or impressive dignity; worthy of veneration or reverence, as because of high office or noble character: a venerable member of Congress. 2. a title for someone proclaimed by the Roman Catholic Church to have attained the first degree of sanctity or of an Anglican archdeacon. 3. (of places, buildings, etc.) hallowed by religious, historic, or other lofty associations: the venerable halls of the abbey. 4. impressive or interesting because of age, antique appearance, etc.: a venerable oak tree. 5. extremely old or obsolete; ancient: a venerable automobile. In Rocky Mountain Ryan's defense, I'm going to point out definition #1, with an emphasis on the "or impressive dignity". I'm quite confident in my assumption that that was what he meant by venerable. Beyond that, well Ryan, buddy, I think you just stepped in it! ;-)

I found a 64 quart size bag of Miracle Grow at Lowes and I was happy they had the sand I needed too! We found an open 50# bag we got for 75 cents! Gosh, I love that place! I worked at Lowes for the 100 days of spring this past year. Any broken bags are usually half price at most stores. Find an associate. See if they will mark it. If they tape it closed, it's full price. I sowed all my shrubs and trees yesterday. White crape myrtle sweet shrub dogwood eastern redbud mock orange burning bush lilac blue spirea japanese maples snowball bush white birch trees black gum and I'm sure there are others I have left off. Going to put up the Christmas tree today and spend the afternoon cutting 2 liter bottles in half with my bandsaw. :)

So how many flats do you have on the go so far?
Q
Comments (5)
I have about 6 or 7 flats started and mostly doing well. I have 28 tomato plants just put into separate pots (3 varieties: Black Krim, Iidi and Padova). Also, there are 3 flats of coleus, one flat with cuttings from last year's favourites and the other 2 with new seedlings. I'm trying for ones with a lot of yellow in the leaves but not having much luck. But I do have one rather small and weak one with almost completely black leaves. Probably the colour is why it's not growing very fast (not enough chlorophyl),but it seems healthy. I also have lots of baby primulas of 3 kinds. Two sets are in the cold frame as they are from last year, and the others are auriculas from this year. I got the seeds from France and had quite poor germination so I'm watching the plants I did get really closely. For unusuals, I have seedlings of things I collected in parks and nurseries locally. They didn't care if I collected seeds, so I went wild! Now I have red yuccas, pineapple lilies, phormiums, pearly whites (a local wildflower) and eryngium agavafolium.I also have 3 different kinds of penstemons, but while growing, they're very slow and tiny. Let's hope at least some of them survive!

I have only ordered Moonstruck and Golden Meadows (both from Hallson's) and I will probably hold off on anything else until I see what my local nursery has on tap. I am really fortunate that there is a wholesale place near my hosue and the owner is a hostaholic too!

I've ordered Venus and am working real hard to not get any more! I've really run out of room, lol, but being so far south I had to try the flowers that don't open often for where I want to live. :)

So far Empress Wu, Cat and Mouse, and Hanky Panky will be coming to my house. Some I'm looking at include Emerald Ruff Cut (almost certain) Pineapple Upsidedown Cake, and having trouble deciding between Lakeside Shoremaster and Lakeside Beach Captain. What are your thoughts, experiences with those two?

will hold off anything else, money are tight this year and space is even more so. I have large perennial garden with hostas incorporated so am growing tons of other perennial stuff, this year I went crazy on primulas- got any primula seeds I could find- even from Barnhaven, France... am planning to put them with hosta to liven up early/ mid spring season.

I just ordered Empress Wu, Stained Glass, and Stitch in time from Naylor's. I want to add more but I just wanted to order those first in case they sell out. There are other ones I want but they are pretty common so I am going to wait until after my frost date for more ordering. I think I am going to have to make some new beds.
