First mail order plants arrived
Comments (3)I ordered one plant from Jungs, a nursery I'd never ordinarily order from, and I requested an April delivery date. The plant arrived last week. I was livid and called Customer Service to complain. I told them I had been ordering plants for over 30 years and had never had a delivery date request ignored. How did they even know I would be here to receive the plant? And why didn't they have the courtesy to tell me they couldn't honor the request and would send it on their own schedule? I added that this was just one of the reasons why they have such a terrible reputation. I'll never order anything from them again....See MoreFirst Mail Order Daylilies of the Season Arrived Today
Comments (14)Well, the only garden thing I did today was plant daylilies. Got a late start today in the garden because I had to work this morning and I just finished watering the planted daylilies and dragged myself in now afew minutes ago. Haven't even had dinner yet. I got the rest of my plants from Mike Huben planted plus almost all my order from Melanies North Country Daylilies. I have four more to do tomorrow but otherwise that order from Melanie of 31 daylilies (including some from Brian Culver in Canada) is all planted. I want to get them planted tomorrow plus my roses and sedum so I can drag out my tomato cages and set up my tomato rows in my veggie garden. I have got to get that done and should plant those tomatoes as this Monday I have daylily orders being shipped from Karol Emmerich, Don Herr and Phil Korth. So by Wednesday I could well have more Daylilies to plant and I certainly will by the end of the week. Trying to get everything done in what seems like all at once to me....See MoreFirst Iris Order of the Year
Comments (14)Here is a picture of one of last years planted siberian mini clumplets growing. It might give you all a hint as to why I ordered double orders on everything this year. It also shows how slender the folliage is. Its right next to some daffoldils and the folliage is thinner than that on the daffs. That is some daylily folliage just sneeking into the picture. And here is the area from further away. The little siberian clumplets just about get lost. You might now even be able to find them in the picture....See MoreMy first mail order... with mixed results!
Comments (20)And I'll baby this little guy along. If he lives, he will be my miracle child! ===>>> alls well.. that ends well ... but .. lets be clear ... you are going to have the same burning problem that he did ... and those problems will continue for years ... until it builds a root mass necessary to get over the vagaries of ma nature ... [and i might suggest you will struggle to find the perfect shade.. as too much weakens the plant .. and too little burns the plant] ... this is the root of daves theory of buying larger plants.. and putting up screens for a year or two ... but i cant live with that.. and they are planted.. and left to fate .... i had two pines ... cesarini var. and burkes red ... that lost EVERY SINGLE NEEDLE in spring ... 3 or 4 years running ... all that would be left would be those buds .... this happened until they got to about 3 feet tall ... and must have finally got that requisite root mass ... and do note.. this was a winter issue in my z5 ... though i cant recall how damaged they were by summer.. i bet it was both.. losing heavily summer damaged needles ... anyway.. there is your gauntlet.. it has been throw down.. maybe you are a messiah and can make things happen that others cant ... or maybe you can .. good luck ken...See MoreHeruga (7a Northern NJ)
