At least I'm terrible at keeping lables & track of what I put where. It's so embarrassing to post a picture of a plant. Calling it one thing only to find out it's somwthing else entirely. Can some of you wise gardeners help me figure out what I have growing please. Now these haven't bloomed yet so id will have to be made by what the folage looks like, sorry.
Nice Grasshopper in the first image Bosque,..as for the plants,..i will wait until some wiser person logs in
You are not a terrible gardener. you do a fabulous job of growing the plants you have posted. I certainly wouldn't want to discourage you from posting your plants but i also want you to have the right names with your plants, too. when someone else sends you seeds and mislabels them you are the one trusting them to send along the proper name too and sometimes that doesn't happen... the first one appears to be the forgetme nots # 2. I am guessing....delphinium, monkshood or larkspur, but I am leaning to delphinium #3. lambs ear? which is a perennial
Not at all terrible! No gardener can remember everything. I usually remember *what* my plants are but at any given time I don't know *where* they all are. I move them around so much, in & out of pots and in & out of the ground that I honestly go looking for particular plants sometimes and have to *find* them. If the 2 of us were amalgamated into 1 gardener, I sure hope it would be the best of both, not one who does not know what the plants are AND does not know where they are. LOL!!
I always think, oh gosh that one is easy to remember.....then later and I won't confess to how short a time that usually is....I look at something and think to myself, Gee that is really doing well in that spot I wonder what it is? I always plan on making markers and putting them next to the plant but then I decide to rely on my memory...gotta stop doing that!
Thank you fellow gardeners. That makes me feel better. Alot of what I started from seeds this year I have not grown before so I don't know what it is yet by just looking at the plant. But if I have grown it before I usually know what it is right away. Oh well waiting for them to bloom is kinda like opening presents. Never know what it is till ya open it. Hope that made sense. It did in my head while I was thinking what I wanted to say.
Gardens can be like birthdays or Christmas with happy surprises. I love your take on "unknown" plants! You definitely made sense, and made me think there was another gardener out there who loved plants and perhaps, sometimes, didn't know what they were.
