I love Niagara Falls

10 years ago

I'm trying to share my latest pictures of Niagara Falls, but AVG keeps preventing me from doing so. I'll try again.
As you can see, it is huge.

What is AVG?

Your Niagara Falls is a beauty alright. It must like living in the cold country. Mine is doing okay, in its second growing year, in a container. I hope it has a spectacular season in 2014. One of my favorites.

The Aqua Velva sharing a pot with it has to come out so Niagara Falls can become symmetrical. That seems to be its way of growing.

We actually have beautiful and often very hot summers--short of course. We usually can count on 90 frost-free days but have also had frost in every month of the year some years. I can grow many zone 3 things and will even try the odd zone 4 if I am really in love with it. The upside is long daylight hours. Right now the sun is rising before 5 am and not setting until 10:30 pm so things grow like crazy for the short time they have. Thanks for the advice. My garage will hit -45C most likely this winter but I have a cool spot in the basement I could try. I would really rather have one that can live outside, however. Thanks again, Angeline

Niagara Falls and it's growth

Thanks for the nice comments folks. Looking back on this plant it surprised me how long I had it. I could see from my own pictures how "messing with it" set it back. That is probably why many of my plants take much longer than the three or four years to reach anything like maturity. Oh well, I like the crowded look and until I can't physically move things, I'll keep doing what I do. I don't usually get stunned by my own plants because I see them all the time once they are up. This year I was away for 3 days in late May just when they were opening. When I came home I was shocked by Niagara Falls. It had gotten so big! So did quite a few others. This seemed to be a year many leaped which kept me busy finding a better place for them. That combined with the weather keeping me inside some of the time is why I haven't been around much. I'm still trying to catch up on the alphabet which is now finished....Myrle

PASSPORT for going to Niagara Falls?
Q
Comments (16)
This area is such a great vacation area. So much to choose from! If you guys are baseball fans, and I assume you are to some degree if you are going to a reds game, you might want to consider going to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Cooperstown is only about 200 miles from Niagara Falls. We've been two or three times, but we are avid baseball fans. The town is quaint, with lots of neat shops and places to have lunch. If you do get passports, another fun place to go is Toronto. A short drive from Niagara Falls, and a beautiful city. We walked and walked just taking it all in. Another thing in that part of the country that we have enjoyed is touring the Hyde Park home of FDR. And we usually allow several days to drive up to Maine to take in the seashore and lobster!! Now I'm really wanting to plan another vacation in that direction! Have fun!

We just got back a couple of weeks ago. It was much better than I was expecting! We stayed our first night at the Hilton in Canada, with the Falls view. You definitely have to get the falls view!!! The Hilton was really great, except, for part of the view you get all the construction going on - more hotels. For older kids, they have a fantastic water fall and water slide in the hotel. If you like pizza or Italian food, you can go to a place called Michael & Angelo's. It's very good and very reasonable. Be sure and take water or drinks with you when you hike down to the falls area. Drinks (water, cokes, etc., will cost about $2.50. I went to the store and purchased a cheap styrofoam ice chest and my drinks. I just took water with me everywhere I went. Good advice on the Butterfly Conservatory and Botanic Gardens. Both are fantastic. The Maid of the Mist is a MUST SEE, as well. The Journey Behind The Falls was neat also. We also rode the "People Pusher" - I think that is what it's called. It's a bus that runs about every 10 minutes at all the tourist places. It really beats driving your car around and trying to find a place to park. Also, if you're there on the weekend, be sure to watch the fireworks and lighted falls. You didn't say if you're on the American or Canadian side. Don't stay on the American side! We spent the first night in Canada (that's where we splurged on the hotel room) and the second night on the US side...no comparison! I wish I had splurged both nights. We were only there three days & two nights, but I got everything in I really wanted to see, except for Cave of the Winds. Also, room rates almost triple on the weekends, so if you can go during week days, you can get by a lot cheaper. One thing that amazed me about the Canadian side, was that with all those thousands of people there, the place was immaculately clean. Be sure to take lots of film and video camera. HAVE FUN!

AVG is my anti virus protection. For some reason it is blocking my attempt to post pictures to Gardenweb. I had a longer post to start with and lost the entire thing when I hit preview. AVG 'protected me' by preventing my action and my post was gone.
Then for some reason, my second attempt was allowed. I'm confused by this.

North53, I think if you add GardenWeb to your list of trusted websites, you will not have that problem. Never heard of the AVG antivirus but they usually have a workaround. Hope you find it. That is fixed in your browser. I use Firefox and it has way less problems than Internet Explorer.

North53 your Niagara Falls is as beautiful as McTavish's NF. I think it is possibly what got me into the hosta hooked gardening. Myrle has hers elevated and you can see the stems and it falls down toward the other beauties below. Mine is very small but this is the second season and I see 4 more new shoots so maybe it will finally take off and grow. That is some beautiful

This hosta is relatively new in my garden and has done really well in spite of having to be moved twice. I had planted it in the fall (it's too dark to go out and look at the tag for the year) and in the spring I had to move it temporarily while the brick wall behind it was being built. As soon as that was done I moved it back to its spot. I'm glad I gave it so much space. I like that it isn't crowded.
I needed to share this beauty with people who would like it. Thanks.

I love that hosta, too but I don't have the room for it, however; I did buy Bridal Falls this year. I just noticed your zone - 1b!! How long is your growing season?
