2014 Spring Fling/Swap
Comments (64)Paula, I'm bringing cookies too because when I was at the store this afternoon (likely while you were posting that you picked up a tray of cookies, lol), I was hungry and cookies sounded good. : ) I'm also bringing a big bowl of mixed fresh fruit. I bought red seedless grapes, green seedless grapes, pineapple, strawberries and 3 kinds of melon. Of course, I'm bringing Tim, door prizes, $$ for the potty and a few plants as well. I won't list every type of plant I'm bringing, but there's 8 flats of plants so far, including: -- about 100 tomato plants (representing virtually all the varieties on my 2014 Grow List) --five kinds of sweet bell peppers---mini bell peppers that mature to yellow or red and full-sized bells that mature to red, orange or yellow --the smallest hot pepper plants y'all ever will see but they are only a month old and fully hardened off---just tiny. They are mostly jalapenos (Early Jalapeno, Gigantea, Grande', Big Guy and probably Biker Billy), There might be an Ancho Gigantea plant or two in the flat of hot peppers. --some herbs, including Smokey Bronze Fennel, Florence Fennel, "Vierling" Dill for sure and some sort of basil, I think...and maybe some parsley --some flowers, including Outhouse Hollyhocks (mixed colors), Rose Mallow, Lion's Tail (tall, mint family, orange flowers) and Balsam. --A flower used more like an herb, specifically as a tea plant. It is Hibiscus sabdariffa and the calyx's from its flowers are used in tea--they put the Zing in Red Zinger tea. I mostly grow it just because it is a beautiful plant. I won't know until we load up the car in the morning if there's room for more flats of plants, but if there is room, I'll cram in some more plants. Looking forward to seeing everyone and so happy the severe weather won't start up until the Spring Fling is over! Dawn...See MoreNEW: The Petal Pushers 'Bring on Spring Fling'

Comments (184)Patti, Normally poppies only transplant well if they are very small, so your success might depend on how large they are. Vitexes transplant well. I must have done something wrong. The car is loaded (and all the plants actually fit inside it, even with the canopy in there too), the food is made, the door prizes are sitting on the counter for us to grab as we walk out the door, etc., so we're all ready. This is not normal. I don't know if I can function tomorrow morning without having to run around frantically doing last minute things. Tim did ask me if I was going to run out to the garden first thing tomorrow to dig up one more thing that I just thought of. I told him nope, I'm done. I had to work all week on getting stuff done in case we got the rain they said was coming today. So far, no rain, but all the pre-Spring Fling preparations are complete. See y'all tomorrow!

Comments (14)I'm not sure if it needs to be a climber exactly. I don't think I like HTs though. They seem to need more TLC than the others. I was thinking floribunda, shrub, or noisette. Maybe a couple of red/pink/cream floribundas, then a different color noisette to let run over and through them all. Lily, I am already thinking about what I will do when the Bermuda grass goes dormant! I think I'm going to lay down cardboard where I want a flower bed. Then I'll dump some of those massive amounts of woodchips I have on top. Hopefully it will compost all winter. I like working in the yard, so planning stuff is enjoyable....See Morejlhart76
