Those are very pretty, and a collection of roses I am not familiar with. Thanks for the show.

Well, thanks again. CTC, Mantis is correct that is Open My Eyes, and it does very well for me in zone 5. I bought it at Cottage Gardens actually!! The darker purple in the back of the eyed section is Gillian. Marg, Hold Your Horses is a Trimmer, I bought it from a seller here in zone 5, so I know it will grow well. Jean, thanks ( it's Bowie, and he has been taking it easy) Linda, I like the four paws rating system!! LOL. Vickie, Hold Your Horses is such an impressive daylily, I could see it from across the gardens where I bought it!! It just drew you in. Tobyjones, you should get Citrix, Maryott had it, but I was able to find it from a local grower, and I do blame Kay for making me go get it!!! hahahahaha. Thanks Kay! cindy

Impatiens which have thick, profuse blooms
Q
Comments (4)
Most modern hybrid impatiens bloom adequately, and lack of blooms tend to be due to horticultural problems rather than cultivar selection. cultivars which has done great for us: accent, tempo, super elfin, mosaic, etc Use little or no fertilizer in starting medium. Fertilize impatiens very lightly as seedlings, but do remember to fertilize them. Seedlings which did not receive any fertilizer young, flowers poorly later. use a low phosphorus, high nitrate fertilizer during seedling stage to provide good compact growth. high ammonium levels tend to stress plants and reduce branching.

George, It was so nice to finally meet you yesterday. Although I still do not know how you missed us walking by w/ the GIANT Cherokee Geisha on my baby's head! LOL. Thank you very much for bringing TC to me! I love her already. I don't have anything quite like that so she's very special. Deep red with a nice fragrance = LOVE! As for your lovely yard, if you keep that up we might have to renew our wedding vows at your place! LOL Have a blessed day! Lynn This post was edited by No-Clue on Tue, Sep 3, 13 at 20:53

What am I missing here...?

Well my Tomatoes (2 Better Bush) are both basically dead at this point, I got around 150-175 tomatoes between the two plants. Planted them in early April and they are done and dead in mid August, produced about 75-85 tomatoes per plant. They are Determinate plants though. Now I planted 3 Dwarfs which are indeterminate that were basically planted first week of June. The HEAT and HUMIDITY have taken their toll on them. The plants are fighting off Blight and are dropping on average 2-3 blossoms per day. I only have just 3 tomatoes set on one plant. But up until the past couple of days the temps have been in the mid 90s to low 100s and even at night it has been close to 80. Next year I am going to plant them as early as possible, probably in March in the Vegtrug under the greenhouse cover then transplant them in their growing pots when they get too large (22+") for the Vegtrug.

Beth, gorgeous as usual. I love seeing your photos. Where did you get Emma?

Thanks Jean and Sammy!!

And Connie, if I remember correctly, I believe I got EMMA (aka "Emma de Meilland") from Steve Singer at Wisconsin Roses, about 6-7 yrs ago. I don't see that he's offering her anymore. You might email him and ask him if he can bud one for you. I know that he often custom buds roses he has that are not on his website. Can't hurt to ask anyway. She's a good grower. My plant is over 5ft tall and the repeat is pretty good.

Beautiful roses Beth. I like Dr Bob Harvey, Ernie and Phyllis Diller. That's a great shade of yellow. I have a short dahlia that color, I didn't know there was a rose like that too. Your pics are excellent also.

You always post very beautiful photos, Beth.
I am especially fond of the European Touch in my garden. It is a wonderful shade of apricot and grows exactly like it's sport parent Folklore in my garden. It is funny how much alike they look except for the color of the bloom itself.

Beth, thanks for posting these pictures, as always. I see you got a Phyllis Diller also. Mine made it barely through our Easter freeze, but neither last year nor this year has it put out any new basal canes. It has just wanted to live off the one surviving cane. Has yours put out any new basals at all? It can be a nice rose. The color holds in the summer heat, but it would be nice if it got some new growth from the bottom. I do use epsom salts in the spring, but to no avail on this one.
