Anyone see a pip yet?
Comments (29)I took a look around the yard today and found some more pips. Can’t believe it! They are not up, up, just barely showing if I search a bit: found Royal Standard, Wolverine,Silver Lode and Mighty Mouse. The Stella Day Lily is also up. Still there are probably more but too cold to search much in the front yard where the wind is!! I know, I’m a wimp. debra...See MoreEyes or pips freeze damage
Comments (17)Hydrangeas are fine unless you put coverings on them that touch the leaves, then from my experience the leaves are damaged. I run around the yard with large garbage cans and carefully put my hydrangeas under them as best as I can. It doesn't always work since the plants grow larger each year but at least it's worth a try. What I do know is that sheets put directly over the hydrangeas will harm the leaves wherever they touch the leaves if moisture forms and then frost, etc. The Hosta society article confirmed what happened to me. I guess the best thing to do is to put in stakes before it gets cold in the fall and then in the spring suspend the coverings over the stakes which prevents the leaves from touching the covers, but who has time to do this in the fall? If you do, please come to my place and I will gladly pay you well to do so for me, lol....See MoreGarden Buddha and pips
Comments (8)Thank you!!! I walk up and down the sidewalk counting pips. 27 plants have pipped! One corner is the slow corner. I am holding my breath while I count! The other beds are slow too. We have agreed on the stone for the fountain. Currently he is routeing the tubing for the pump. Nice days currently, I have taking vacation for a long birthday weekend. Rain is predicted for Wed and Thurs but a sunny weekend is in store more garden work. I wonder why my house is a mess?...See MorePretty in Pink Eden climber flower doesn’t look like PIP
Comments (6)Is it very hot where you are? I grow both regular and PiP Eden and haven’t seen that before but heat can reduce the petal count and cause stripes like that. I’m in the PNW and my Edens are mostly resting during the hottest part of the summer and our hot isn’t very hot compared to other places....See MoreEsther-B, Zone 7a
