    I am not sure the phrase 'I have enough' ever applies to plants. If it does I don't want my hubby to ever hear about it. ;)

    I have been looking at the info from Springhill about some roses. I picked out 4 I really, really like and now I have to narrow it down to 1 or 2....I am leaning towards the Julia Child a beautiful yellow and the Twilight Zone a dark redish purple.

    Oh, and there are the water plants I want to order in April.
    And the two orders of seeds I received last month.

    Toni, I've grown roses for almost 40 years, and Julia Child is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. You'll love it!
    On order from Shumway's are peanuts (it's an experiment!)and thyme seed (back ordered).
    I just put in my order to Filaree Farm for garlic--it won't be arriving until September, but Filaree had two varieties I've wanted to try and no one else had organic seed garlic in those two types.
    Everything else has arrived, and quite a bit is already under lights and growing.
    I'm not sure you'd consider garlic and peanuts plants, but that's all I have on order now.

    Cajunbelle, we'd appreciate any information or tips you may have. As I stated, this is an experiment, and although Texas is a premier peanut growing state, we don't seem to have any around here. In other words, HELP!

    Yes Jerry, we will have photos, especially when the hired hand shows up. He wears a top hat and a monacle, and spats.
    We tried to get some under-age workers, but the child labor laws wouldn't let us hire Charlie, Lucy, Linus, and Peppermint Patty. Just as well, they wanted to bring along their beagle, and Snoopy might have chased our hens.

    I'm sure you will have success with growing peanuts Marlingardener. I grew them in my zone 5 garden last summer :)
    I haven't ordered anything yet. But I HAVE been to the garden center...

    I just blew it!
    On a Romanian forum, they placed an order for Clematis from Poland.
    This is the site
    http://e-clematis.com/pl/c/Clematis-powojniki/1
    It's in Polish but you can have an idea. And supposed to be pretty cheap. Like 6-7 USD/plant. Around here... much more expensive.
    Well...I "woke up" too late... order already placed :(

    I will try to find some Tigridia bulbs. And maybe some Clematis around here...

    I ordered the Julia Child rose from Springhill yesterday. Their latest email newsletter showed they were on sale $5.00 off regular price for about a week! Now I have to wait until March for them to send it to me, tap, tap, tap, tap. Is it March yet?
