PJPII...Even more beautiful than I expected.
Comments (8)Ponce, I was looking for a nice white to go along with my reds, so I ordered 3 different ones to try out in my zone. The PJPII was a poor speceimen to say the least, but has proved to be an exceptional performer so far. I'm on my 5th or 6th flush since I potted it in February and they get better each time. I'm a big hit when I bring the blooms in to share at work. If it performs as well the rest of this summer, I'll be getting at least 6 more for next year....See MoreHappy March and Good Riddance to February
Comments (7)Laura, I forgot that is is almost time to spring forward. More good news! Hmmmmm.....I wonder how each of us will spend our extra hour of daylight? Cindy, I am so envious. We had over an inch of rain yesterday, so our dirt is mud/mudpuddles but I am eagerly awaiting its drying-up so I can play in the dirt too. Megan, Digging bermuda is about my absolute least favorite gardening chore ever, but at least you're getting rid of it and can plant something better in its place! Any day you can get rid of some bermuda is a good day. No, make that a GREAT day. Today I saw daffodils blooming and an adult roadrunner chasing a sulphur butterfly....and quite a lot of birds migrating north. A couple of nights ago, we not only had the spring peepers peeping, but the regular frogs were croaking as well--just a huge chorus of little croaks and big croaks and all kinds of in-between sounds. That was one of the nights when the temps stayed in the 50s, which it hasn't the last few nights. Do we even dare hope that spring is making its way to us slowly, step by step, inch by inch? In our yard, chickweed is blooming but no henbit is in bloom here yet. I did see lots of dandelions blooming, but they were on the Texas side of the river. The wind sure made it chilly and we'll still be really cold down here tonight....in the 20s, which is below normal, but our days are warming up nicely all week long. Also, I noticed another sign of spring today while inside a Barnes & Noble bookstore. Can y'all guess what it was? Gardening books. Tons and tons of gardening books, and a very heavy emphasis on edible gardening with a couple of shelves of books about growing veggies, herbs and fruit. At this point, we'll take all the signs of spring we can find. Dawn...See MoreColeus Even Nore Forgiving than I Thought!
Comments (7)Congrats, Mindy. You're obviously really on top of your watering, I'd have trouble keeping anything in 3" pots going all summer. Even plants in 12" pots wilt awfully quickly on me if I don't water EVERY day. We got spoiled with so much rain this summer so it was easy to get out of the habit. I bought a coleus this spring that I really like. I've been rooting cuttings to pot up for next year, but since the original plant is in a pot, would it work to just bring it in before frost? I don't have grow lights or even super sunny windows. If I try, should I cut it way back? Last fall I brought in asparagus fern, which did very well indoors all winter. I also brought in a pretty red oxalis, which promptly died--or so I thought. I never got around to doing anything with the pot, just left it on the windowsill, and several months later it resurrected itself. I learned later that oxalis goes through a period of dormancy. I also have some fancy geraniums which never bloomed as much as they should have--I probably didn't feed them enough or give them quite as much sun as they like--but I'm wondering whether it's worth bringing them in. As much money as I usually end up spending on annuals, it's hard to see it all go away in the fall!...See MoreJanuary, February, March - what do you grow?
Comments (5)Say "Hello" to Hellebores! If you don't already grow these, head to your nearest garden center now! My hellebores start blooming in mid February about the same time as the earliest daffodils and hold their flowers until late spring to early summer. Not only that, they're evergreen and provide color to the winter garden. Need I say more? Latin: Helleborus orientalis Common: Lenten Rose Blooms in TN: February-June Type: Perennial Color: Pale green, White, Pink, maroon - dark purple often with speckling inside Height: to about 1 1/2 feet tall Requirements: Shade to Partial Shade Pests: relatively disease-free, but they can be affected by slugs, aphids, and black spot. Propagation: Once planted they do not like to be disturbed, but they can be propagated by division in the fall or from seed Notes: Evergreen, poisonous, medium moisture, low maintenance...See MoreNone
