Ok, stupid question time (posted on the Annuals forum, too, but since we're ALWAYS talking about poppies over here, I figured I'd ask)... Aside from the perennial Orientale Brilliante (oh YEAH!!!!!) that finally arrived this year, the annual varieties are now about 3-5" tall. I have an issue: I have a whole section in this bed that are starting to form bloom heads- eghads! This can't be good. I thought a 'carpet' of poppies would be a good thing, and now I'm wondering if I need to actually pull a ton of them out to give them room because they are either stunted, or misbehaving, or something. Not sure what's going on. It's only one small section that's starting to form the bloom-heads; the rest of the bed is still fine and just growing normally. Help!

LOL Both of you. I'm still trying to figure out "ALL THE CLUES" LOL I have no idea the what any of the answers to any of the clues are, Oh one was "Heart." Still trying. Dorothy

I love the new set! I have a very similar set up and always keep a throw and pillows on the loveseat. That's my favorite spot to chill/read..you just need a bit of color on the loveseat. It looks comfortable. That's great that your husband liked it!

we just got an air tag for our dog from our DD for Christmas. 90% of the time, he stays in the fenced yard...bbbuuutttt every so often, something 'smells' sssooo good that he 'must' jump/squeeze through and t-r-a-c-k that S-M-E-L-L!!! and if there is a fox or deer in the yard, all bets are off and he is 'going for it', leap/squeeze, no matter he's going... so after a few long searches, she came up with the air tag for a safe return:) mind you, we did 'reinforce' the fence at multiple points but he has "springs' in his legs and a very determined nose... must be the flat coated retriever in him :)
