What was new to you this year that you will sow again next year?
Comments (14)Salvia 'Coral Nymph' - absolutely beautiful and the hummers love it too! Zinnia Profusion Apricot - pretty color, neat clumps, I may try other colors of Profusion series next year. Snapdragon 'Black Prince' - these are gorgeous and still blooming away, while the Snapdragon tall mix have faded away. But they were much shorter than I expected so they'll go in the front of the border next year. Scarlet runner bean 'Painted Lady' - has bicolor red and white blooms that are really pretty. Cardinal climber (Ipomoea x sloteri) - VERY vigorous grower, and finally started blooming in the last couple weeks with pretty red tubular flowers. The hummers love this too. I'm sure there are others and I WS'd lots of perennials, many will not bloom this year so we'll see....See MoreEradicating milkweed...found Monarch eggs...now what do I do?
Comments (2)...I mean the "eggless/cat-less" plants. After posting this, in my urgency to get the cats into some "home," I found a link to a "raising MBs" site, and put them in a tupperware container with a wet paper towel. They seemed to have settled down (when I found them, and took the leaf off, they were all wriggly). So they're on my kitchen table at the moment, and I took some of the plants out of the pile and put them in vases. I don't know how long the MW will last in a vase; hopefully long enough for this project. There are probably 100 or more cats on this leaf. After I found them, and stopped ripping out the MW, I don't know if there's enough for all these cats. I'll probably end up taking them all over the neighborhood trying to find a new stand of MW for them to do their thing on. I don't own a fish-tank or anything to raise them completely. They'll have to go back outside. I feel like a louse....See MoreSolanum americanum... to eradicate or not to eradicate?
Comments (2)are these the one with the yellow berries and thorns? if so dig them up move them to your wooded area. they can become so invasive been through it but we just dug them up and moved them away from the backyard, they are poisonus for us but not the wildlife.

Comments (8)It appears to me to be 2 or 3 Trachycarpus. Maybe T.princeps?...choice palms. They had to be have bought by a collector. Not palms you find at HD or Walmart. If you want to kill them..cut the heads off. Thats all it takes. Or,dig them out and sell them. I'm sure palm people would be interested.
