Well, it just did not want to post earlier, I'll try again. A Walk in the Clouds arrived this spring, but put up a really n ice scape

Tuscawilla Tigress, not a good picture I'm afraid

Blue Luster

Here are some of my older seedlings, I have shown this one last year. It is a seedling from Howdy and looks a lot like it, flowers slightly larger, blooms better, and over twice as tall as my Howdy. I like it mostly because it is late. It has a lot of buds, but tends to bloom out fast, pretty while it is in bloom though

This seedling had its 1st blooms this year, 7" blooms or more, 34" tall, and has 7 buds total, which is better than some of my 1st time bloomers

I am not in love with the color, but like the form of this one, usually looks nice, large flowers and plenty of buds

Large 7" flowers on tall sturdy scapes

Late blooming flower, tall and LOTS of buds

I think I showed this one earlier. I really like the look of this one, over 6" flower on about 30" scapes. Not an abundance of buds though. Good multiplier.

Tuscawilla Tigress is in the hospital bed now, but just came back to see a beautiful display there by it. Takes a lot of space, but color that stands out. I too like the last seedling, but if bud count is low....

A friend of mine 's mother has asparagus plants and they dont eat many anymore, so I was wondering what would happen if I dug up some and transplanted then to my garden? What is the best time of year? Could they be too old (the plants)? Anything special that I should know as this will be the first year that I will be growing them? I know that this is an awful lot of questions but when a newbie gets amonge experts they will fly out of the mouth like.......well you get the idea. Thanks an awful lot.

Daisy, I live in a 4-season climate. We have had a relatively cold winter. All Januray and some nights in Dec, and Feb. we had freezing temperature. That is why, my plants are living now in cold weather. They are tender and not harvestable yet. We will have very hot summer as well, reaching into triple digits F( close to 40C). But I have planted my tarragons where they will get shade in the afternoons when it gets real hot in the summer. BTW, my tarragons are the real things too.

Ed, I'd consider 3 by 8 instead of 4x8. Better yet, 3 by 12, since your boards are 12 foot. I had the 4x4 beds first and was constantly circling around them to do stuff, especially in the early part of preparing and planting. I found it irritatingYou can step over a 3 foot width. Right now I have a 3 foot wide, what i call, growing strip that edges the south and east side of my (small) yard. I just have a stepping stone about every six or 8 feet so I can step across. My growing bed is surrounded by the sidewalk on the outsides, which is kind of nice. I can stand on the sidewalk and tend to that side of the garden. This is my first year at this house, but nobody has bothered it so far. Gardens are great therapy for helping to heal the greiving. Hope it goes well for you.

Really nice seedlings! Your Howdy seedling catches my eye. I also really like the third and six seedlings but all are lovely.

I like Walk in the Clouds. It's a late one, isn't it? You have a lot of pretty seedlings, and you seem to grow them tall. The Howdy seedling is a nice one to have in the late season, and it seems to have clumped up pretty quickly. I love the third UF purple with the black eye. Can you tell us the pod parent on that one? The last one is really pretty. I would keep it, even if the bud count is low. It has that nice double edge, large bloom, and it's tall! What's the pod parent on that one? It kind of reminds me of Hillbilly Heart.

Tuscawilla Tigress is an oldie, not fancy, but it does catch the eye. The Howdy seedling has clumped up scary fast. I don't like having to divide, and have already given away a good section. Walk in The Clouds is a late. Isn't it a nice late to have? I have not been able to get to the plant to check the tag, if there is one. They do mysteriously disappear on me. There are a lot of seedlings blooming around it and I don't want to lose blooms. I got String Theory about that time so would imagine that is the parent, but not sure.

The tag on the bottom plant got dislodged, 2 tags close could be either one. Hillbilly Heart is one of them, Wisest of Wizard's x Little light of Mine is the other. I fancy it is Hillbilly Heart also, I tried setting tet pollen on it, but no luck.

Really Sherry? I wonder if mine really is Howdy then, mine has never been taller than 20". This seedling is about 40"plus tall, I had crossed with a tall spider hoping for bi toned tall spider.

Nancy, Howdy stats say 40”. That does match what I see here for the most part.

Debra, Nancy got A Walk in the Clouds from me and soon it will be in your garden too! It really is a great late. For some reason mine is sending up scapes already when it normally blooms in August but lots of my lates are doing that. Nancy, I'm glad it is happy in it's new home! It clumps up fast, just to let you know.

I guess my Howdy is not really Howdy. I have had it so long, the picture looked right. I guess i did not look close enough to the stats. No matter, I was planning on composting my Howdy when it finishes blooming, I like the seedling much better.

I like that 2nd from the last one. Nice clean color, good form and a brilliant yellow throat........I grew Tuscawilla Tigress forever. It's a good reliable bloomer. Doesn't hold it's color as well as I would have liked in my heat, but in a cooler climate it should do very well............Maryl
