To those with Sonic Drive-ins near by

Had to tell you about something new I had at Sonic today besides my Carmel Milkshake I had some of their new Sweet Potatoe Tater Tots. Delicious not greasy or over salted. $1 more than the others and not as many but really good.

Thus far the entire Sonic Bloom series has done well here in Iowa but have not been overly showy in terms of never ending bloom. The first flush is great but after that bloom quantity has been sporadic at best.

weigelia - sonic bloom or rumba?

Has anyone tried either (or both) or these? Is sonic bloom (pink) really as wonderful a re-bloomer as they claim? How about rumba? Are they significantly different in size? How about deer resistance?

The new healthy growth says your current care is good. I agree with Ken that they are too close to the foundation, and they are really close to each other unless you want them forming a densely solid hedge as they grow together. Here's the Missouri Botanical garden's page on this shrub, which says 4'-6' width (and I've found their estimates far more accurate than most plant tags.) I'd move it in the fall when the weather starts to cool and keep it well watered until it drops leaves, or even after that if there's no precipitation for more than a couple of weeks, so it can grow new roots. I'd also give it a good coating of mulch over the roots, but not right against the stem, to help keep the soil move evenly moist and warm as the weather cools to encourage root growth and also to discourage frost heaves in spring. It's much easier on you and the plants to move them now while they are still small rather than once they have grown full size. Here's how I figure how far away from a building to plant a shrub: Give 1'-2' from the building so you can get in to do any maintenance such as washing windows, painting, pruning, etc. without having to fight your way through branches. From that point add half the largest given width of the shrub (3' for your Weigela) and plant. So the center of your Weigela should be 4'-5' from the building in order to grow evenly and not have branches rubbing against the building. Most of my foundation beds are 6'-12' deep so I can accomodate shrubs as well as some perennials in front of them, and usually that depth balances the height of a two-story building.

Hi! I am looking for my favourite variety of tomato plants...Ultra Sonic. I usually grow them myself, for my vegetable garden, but this year I had pneumonia during sowing time and I didn’t get a chance. If anyone has happened to see them in their travels, please let me know where!

Oh, one opened here (one mile from my front door) about 2 years ago--I was SO thrilled. We were just there about a month ago. Then, about 2 weeks back, we were at the Chick-fila next door and realized that the Sonic was completely dark. At dinnertime. It seems to have closed completely. I don't think they'd be just closed for winter, even though it's the NEast--there's another Sonic near our country home and that's open year round.

I never heard of them until Azzalea posted about the one near her home.

Well - I just noticed that one is about to open near my house. It's about 1 mile away in Cinniminson on Route 130. - I'll have to check it out since I've never been to one.

They're everywhere here! But it's an Oklahoma based company so figures. Gotta try the tater tots, not big on fast foods though.

We have always been fans of sonic, I will sure be giving those sweet potato tots a try, I love sweet potatoes. Luckily we have a couple of them near by.

Tried Sonic 3 different times. Never going back. I gave up over-sweetened drinks decades ago so that's not a draw for me. Tried their chilidogs, a burger and a sandwich. Ended up not finishing any of them. Too cold, too soggy or just meh.

If I want a fast food milkshake I like Jack In The Box. Even better than In 'N Outs. Colder and thicker.

Actually they did better than Five Guys. Tried them twice. One for a hotdog and once for a burger. Choked down the "split and grilled" lukewarm hotdog because I was starving. Tossed the smooshy burger in the trash after I ate a third of it.

I hadn't eaten at a sonic in years but was out of town recently and we ate there and I have to say, I'm not missing anything by not having one in our area. I was not impressed at all! I'm sure they are all a bit different depending on the owners/managers but the one we ate at in Columbus wasn't very good. They don't even put a tray in your window anymore so we had food all over inside of our car trying to figure out where to set stuff. It was a real annoyance to say the least.

Sonic opened up here a few years ago and is barely scraping by.
I guess their food doesn't appeal to us locals....

Only one Sonic nearby so have to rate only that one. Their chili dog was mediocre. Corndog was very different but ok. I like their double bacon cheeseburger. Tots are good - not greasy but I don't want many. I like their ice cream dish for 99ÃÂ¢. Their breakfast sandwich is pretty good. Bacon isn't greasy, is thick and still chewy-crisp. They're not cheap but have daily specials. For a fast food joint, they're ok.

There's only one Sonic on Long Island NY. It opened about a year ago (not really sure?) and got only fair reviews. I haven't bothered going there. They had traffic jams when they opened, the wait was about 30 minutes. I hate crowds!
