Thanks all. I was extremely excited harvesting my potatoes and garlic being that it was the first time growing them! Kristy and Pat, you need to put a sign up where you plant your potatoes, LOL! I planted them in a black box so there's no way I would not find them. Lenette, you can't imagine how often I think about your baby chicks and have to stop myself from going to get some. Of course, I know they don't carry the Marans (want, want, want), but I can always get the Rhode Island Reds, and the Ameraucanas. I can't have roosters so don't hatch eggs. Before I went on vacation, someone was offering Maran hens, but I couldn't get them then :-( Diane, I grow cardoon for the looks, but hope Karyn reads your post. She has asked me several times if I harvest the stems. Marcie, oh I bet you were upset when you found your order! I was gone out of state and found one of my small iochromas pretty dried up. I cut a bit off yesterday and saw some green so maybe it will survive. It is a red one that I got at a plant sale and has not bloomed yet

Hi All- Thanks April- I've finally learned how to use my Nikon Coolpix 100- photos are turning out really nice! Pam- The Eucalyptus is 2 yrs old, they do grow huge here- yes, many folks stop & look at my gardens and chat, great way to meet the neighbors! Karyn, thanks- the Eucalyptus does stay evergreen, we are in zone 7b. But our winter was so bad that I did lose most of my inground brugs that I acquired last year. Hi Theresa- Thanks! How's it going? Hi Frances- wish we could get together! Karyn- good for you- that's what I'd do too. Frogs & toads are so valuable in our gardens. Thanks for saving them! kasha77

yikes Kristy, hope you all dont get it. haaand sanitizer, vitamins, I'm sure you know the drill, lol. Pam, I like the buds more than the flowers, lol. They remind me of moonflowers, how they are all swirly like soft ice cream on a cone. I dont know, I'm weird..my coffee aint workin..what is this decaf????? Seriously tho, I have had that a few years now, the tag said shade so thats where I put it..boy was that tag wrong. Now its in full sun this year and is 3x the size, has bigger flowers, and is blooming its head off! Where as every other year it was far and few between bloom wise, and stayed very small. Theresa, I am so happy with the NBJ this year..non stop blooming..so much for the bloom cycle going with the moon. Mine hasnt stopped since it started last month! Every night is heaven!! DD says she can smell it in her room every night, but for the first time last night as I was laying in my bed I could smell it, and its not real close to the house either. No bud on the lotus yet...I think what I thought was a shaft was just string algae covered in aphids, lmao. Gonna fert again today. I have been putting 4 in at a time since its taking up the whole preform, but maybe thats not enuf? Man I hope the Iochromas and Fuchsias bloom this year! The Iochroma get so bushy so fast, I am constantly plucking leaves off to keep the bottom airy. Thanks Siam! Thank you CB!! geez..I hope its not gangrene! lmao, seriously tho...I really like hostas, I wish I knew the names on all of them. I think I only have names for about 6 of them. Hard to ID the ones I dont know what they are, so many dif ones look so much alike. DO Hostas do well in your area? Like I said, take your time on the pkg, dont rush anything on my acct! thanks again bud! :) You're too kind & sweet! thanks everyone!

I wonder if thats your HI Dbl White X LAMour? (sp?) Whatever it is, I love it! Are you going to register it? Thanks for the offer on the cutting. I SO wish I could accept. I really have to curb myself here. I don't know what I am going to do with everything I already have, lol. And I have more coming..after that, thats it, I swear!!!!!! DH looked at me the other day and said "I dont know where you think you're going to put all that come winter". Problem is~I DON'T know!! That IS so beautiful tho. I tried a bunch of Abutilon seeds this year, only a couple came up, then they damped off, or just decided they didnt like me, either way, doesnt matter, they died.
