Help with Dief Marianne
Comments (4)I didn't think about that. It's not in direct sunlight, is that appropriate? It is however leaning more towards the window and I've moved it to 1 of 3 places I've been testing out. All 3 locations are in the same room but not with the same amount of indirect light. Right now it's in the location with the least amount of indirect light. Should I move it to a better location?...See Morea modern gallica...marianne
Comments (11)Paul, have you had any reports about Marianne has fared in areas with limited (but some) winter chill, such as valleys in Southern California? I'm hoping it will thrive here, especially with its mixed parentage. Mine was among the last shipped out of the greatly missed Uncommon Rose, and is strong and healthy thus far. And from its structure thus far it is obvious it is going to build up to some size here. Quite excited to see the blooms this year. I may be boundry pushing with this one, but with such a beautiful creation...I had to give it a try! Respectfully, Bill...See More~June~ Cracked Pot Gardners
Comments (108)I received the nicest box from Louise today. Thank you so much! I was so excited when I saw what you sent to me. Louise sent some very lovely lavender knit gardening gloves that are so soft and light. She sent 2 nice healthy White Swan Echinacea (I love the coneflowers!), Coreopsis Rosea (I love it!), Variegated Hardy Geranium (you have no idea how excited I was when I saw it! Geranium are a new love for me this past year and I love the foliage!), and also a beautifully scented Provence Lavender! I was so sad when my lavender disappeared over winter and didn't come back for me. You made my day when I found this in the box! She also sent a huge variety of seeds and some very pretty rose Post-It notes and pen set. I am now all set for my next round of winter sowing. I can't wait and am already thinking about collecting this years containers! Louise, all the plant arrived in such fantastic condition. They are some of the greenest, healthiest plants I have ever received. You must take wonderful care of them in your gardens. Thank you so much for being my partner this month. I was very touched by your generosity. I only hope that you liked your box as much as I liked mine. Thank you again. Tracy...See MoreUPDATE: Birthday Bash 2009 July Month- Mariann yeah
Comments (78)Yippee! Mariann, I am so happy to hear that you are going to Well-Sweep. Their catalog had lots of stuff I'd like to try - especially the scented geraniums. I'd love to get some of those for my sis. I really hope you enjoy your trip and get some great plants. You deserve it!!! Although the debris in my yard is slowly but surely decreasing, the heat has been unbelievable. When sis got sick and the trees fell, I just didn't have the heart to get into the gardens. I was so sad to see my babies under all that stuff. Thinking about my sis, I just couldn't bear to go out and look at struggling plants. But lately, I've been peeking around a bit. I'm amazed that some flowers are still going strong, and others are recovering on their own. My Ruds are gorgeous as are the zinnias. I have two kinds of JMG that amaze me each time I go see them. I have variagated KMOGG that I wintersowed that is absolutely beautiful! I wish I had sown more. I must figure out how to harvest the seeds. I've harvested some seeds from a yellow 4 Oclock and a broken one too. I also have a vine white lady that is right at the gate that I love to see when I enter each day. Other things blooming away are several types of amaranthus, cosmos, and dahlias. I guess God's been out there doing the gardening for me. Isn't that wonderful?!?! I am looking forward to the fall when I hope to rebuild some beds and get my hands in the dirt again. So, what's blooming for yall? I was happy to see yall posting before our little thread went off the page. Fran, How are you? I see your swap is going strong. I can't imagine shipping anything in the heat we've had lately - over 100 degrees. Bunny, You doing ok? I miss talking to you since I've been away from the computer so much. Kids doin good? Have a great Friday tomorrow and a nice weekend. Nik...See Moreportlandmysteryrose
