WANTED: Official Announcement: Spring-Blooming Bulb Swap!
Comments (4)Well 2 1/2 weeks left before bulbs are due and there seems to be a little less interest in this swap than usual on this forum -- I have 3 people from the forum email me, and at least 5 from outside this forum so we'll have a good variety of bulbs nonetheless. Of course, if there are still people on here who'd like to participate, please don't hesitate to email me and let me know! We're always looking for more people . . . more people just means more variety! I'll continue to post on here to keep everyone updated. One person suggested to me that the beginning of October may be too late in the year to plant new daylilies, especially in the colder zones of Canada . . . so if you'd like to request no daylilies, please just let me know! There are also those who enjoy receiving daylilies in the fall swap and ask for them, so at the same time, don't hesitate to send them in!...See MoreSpring is officially here!
Comments (11)As much joy as I feel for all of you with the arrival of some reasonable spring weather-I feel equally jealous. :-) The sun is shining here today for the second day in a row, maybe 1/2 dozen sunshine days all winter. I have veritable mountains of snow all around me. They ran out of room to put snow here in my community because we had so much this year. Right now there is at least 6 feet of snow covering my garden area...sigh. We have to go back to MN at the end of April for an extended period of time. We need to vacate our little apartment here so I am hoping and praying we have some of the snow melt off by then. It won't be very pleasant trying to empty the furniture if this sticks around which looks likely this year. On the other hand, my daughter tells me that back in MN the weather is as wonderful as it is unusual, she is already starting the spring clean up in the gardens there....See MoreIt's Official: Ft Worth Spring Swap April 10 2010
Comments (29)Hmmm, I forgot about cannas & irises & water plants. They are a pain to pot up, take a huge pot & a ton of soil, & they always need to be "un-potted" to go in the garden, so let's amend the rules: If it's something that's totally insane to put in a pot... it doesn't have to be in a pot....See MoreIf It's Purple, This Must Be Spring!
Comments (22)and I have a trailing geranium blooming too. also, marigolds, and Mutabelis is blooming. I can't imagine that y'all think you alone have a terrible winter. Winter is just awful for us in zone 9 too. We usually have about 3 days of winter, usually not consecutive, but still very harsh. This year has been the longest, coldest, most miserable winter we have had in a long, long time. I am hauling a whole truckload of burned/frozen foliage that I cut yesterday. Can't even put it into the compost pile, DH says. Haul it to the dump. Our only consolation is that a few things do bloom a little earlier for us. NOT our fault, we are suffering too. Oh, yes, the primrose jasmine has started to bloom. Very pretty, little double yellow flowers. Janie...See Moremathewgg
