Due to the late cold weather/snow, I found plants for 50 cents!
My beds are pretty much full but I just can’t resist a bargain...I bought 12.
Some look alittle tattered/freezer burned, but the others look great!
Here are my finds today...(stock photos)
Salvia ‘crystal blue’ (great find as I had these on my want list)
Anemone ‘harmony blue’
Heuchera ‘beaujolais’ (Want list for container combo)

Crazy weather - first jugs of winter - native seeds - too late?
Comments (6)Thank you ncrescue! That is good to know. I am so used to putting my natives out in December and having them freeze & thaw in their jugs for months and months. I forgot that some people use the fridge to stratify. That's a good point. Whew. I put out my jugs with Foxglove Beardtongue and Bradbury's Monarda this evening, in the middle of the Nor'easter, so that was either true winter sowing dedication, or sheer insanity on my part, lol. Glad to know they will likely still sprout even though it's January and has been a warm (ish) winter. Thanks again!...See MoreIs this the Crazy Weather in NYC

Comments (1)Any time from now through October is pretty much the ideal time to plant spring blooming bulbs. I just planted a bunch this week and our temps are similar (it was 85F on Thursday, right around 70F yesterday) - it is not really the current weather or temps that matter but what should happen over the next few weeks and I doubt too many parts of the country will continue to maintain the unsually high temps into October....See MoreOur crazy weather
Comments (5)We've had the coldest April since records started being kept, since 1915. Our overall average was 2°C (36F). Today is going to make up for it. It's going to feel like 27C with humidity (80F). I'm not impressed, I don't like the heat coming in so severely. Thankfully it won't last....See MoreGardenHo_MI_Z5
