My upstate NY garden (many pics)
Comments (11)Reine Victoria was one of my first antique roses and has remained a favorite. La Reine is one of my very best and the size of the plant is not intimidating for newcomers to antique roses. This rose is the easiest to sell at my yearly plant sale because of its shape, color and rich fragrance. I like your choices very much. Spring bulbs are always cheerful....See MoreGarlic - Harvest time for central NY?
Comments (4)Well not exactly in your neck fo the woods, but pretty close. I'm near Erie, PA. Like any garden item, some mature earlier/later than others. For me, it has usually been sometime in late June when I have noticeable leaf die back. Harvest has usally occured for me over the first 2 weeks or so of July. Again, sometimes a bit earlier, sometimes later. Using the leaves as a guide is excellent. As far as when to cut off watering, I usually try to guess when I am a week away from lifting the bulbs, and stop then. I also keep an eye on the weather forecast to try and get them up before a rain. My experience has shown a week early is better than a week late....See MoreMy Visit to Cottage Gardens in Medina, NY w/pics
Comments (16)Jan, When trying to explain to my father the awe I felt when pulling up in the car I told him I felt like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz when they got to the field of poppies, lol. Colette and FairySoapGirl, I'm glad you enjoyed the pics : ) Tom, It rained in the morning and then was cloudy for most of the time we were there. This was good since it was hot! when the sun came out. Plus taking photos is easier with clouds. Marie, Drag the child along, lol! Melissa, Good thing I didn't bring too much cash because it would be easy to spend too much! It was funny though when we were looking at the daylilies. If we went ooh at a daylily and the intro date was a 2000 something we didn't even look to see a price because we knew it would be too much, lol. Oh he emailed me back about the daylily, but couldn't open the photo link that I sent so I re-sent with a different link. I haven't hear back yet. Julia, Our morning rain traveled right out your way! I'm sure your garden tour was still a good time. I did show my friend, who knows nothing about daylilies, what the rain damage was on some of the daylilies. I did realize later that the rain made it a good day to shop. You'll love it! The display/house garden is behind the cobblestone house. Thankfully there were a few "regulars" near us that cut through the hedge opening or we might have missed it. I've been meaning to go to Mystic for awhile, but still have not gone. She has so many cool spider and unusual form ones. I've know about Grace Gardens for a long time and have not gone. I believe 2 of my daylilies came from there. A plant swapper that was from Penn Yan that used to come to the WNY plant swap gave them to me in exchange for my roses. I think I will make my husband go with me if we go to Hammondsport next summer again. We like to go there when we can. I've not heard of Cat Post Gardens. Another one I must see, lol! : ) Remy...See Morewanted: plant exchange - central ny
