Important question!!!!

Hi Everyone,

I'm writing an article about native plants in Maryland for a client. I need quotes from gardeners who have planted the following plants: Petunia ‘Night Sky’, Cardinal Flower, Celosia ‘Intenz’, Blue Mist Shrub, Blue Sedge in Maryland.

I need a quote saying what you thought about them, or if they grew well for you, or if you'd plant them again, or anything along that line. I will need your name or first initial, and your last name, and just Maryland after it.

If you'd like to check me out to make sure I'm legit, look up: Linda Lee Ruzicka under articles, blogs, poems.

Thanks,

Linda

I'm not from Maryland so I can't help this time. But, let me know when you need help next time, it'd be fun to be quoted in an article. I've read some of your articles before this in various places, and they've always been informative and fun to read.

The All Important Question About Clover

It's my understanding that the N production is limited to the individual clover plant's benefit. However, as with grass, the cuttings from the clover will release/add N to the soil as they decompose. dchall often cites a person who added clover to their low maintenance lawn evidently for this purpose.

I think your tree will be fine during your absence; maybe lower the temp a little, but not more than 5 degrees. The misting is not so important except for controlling dust which mites love. I can't tell the size of your dead branch; but it looks pretty small. Branches that size most often die back from getting too dry, or too hot (from sun, lights, etc); if you pruned it back to the nearest leaf node that is green, you have done what you can. If you want to worry some about your plant while you are gone, I guess it won't hurt anything; but it won't help either. Enjoy your trip

His hair was naturally a light brown/blond which he dyed black. Don't matter, no how, I was in love with him, loved his music, also hated his movies (the exception being BLUE HAWAII) which I watched over 'n over. Drove my mother crazy I'm sure, lol.

I’m quite curious as to where Petunia, Celosia and Caryopteris will fit into your article on natives, Linda. How are you approaching the subject?

I'd have similar questions to floral. Not sure I understand how the listed plants fit into a discussion on MD natives...........

Would be clearer to have the botanical names. Petunia, for example, could be Ruellia. No clue about the others.
