Gorgeous Sherry. I love your pink one & the deep purple! I have struggled with iris borer too. This year my irises are doing well so far. We...
No, but I am curious. I have a friend who does very artistic flower arranging. Some of her creations are truly amazing. You might try flower...
I agree with Carolyn that perennials take work & only bloom for a short period. Annuals will bloom all summer. Garden clubs might be willing to...
Beautiful 2ofs! I love your iris. That pink one & the yellow one are gorgeus.
Hi Kate, I have been hand picking the beetles/eggs/larvae for years now. Last year, I only had a few. This year, none so far. I had a neighbor...
Pravado....I'll look for it. I have placed the few lilies I have right next to the driveway, where I step out of my car every day. That way I...
Cheryl, I have thought of that! I know they are the same crystals!
Kate, Your Frits are beautiful I am envious. I have wanted to grow them but know the red lily beetle goes for them where I live, so I haven't...

Since he retired, my husband has become quite a chef! He craves fresh herbs & rather than spending $4 a shot, I am growing them outside our...
Hey, Happy Birthday Netty!!!
Thanks Jewell. Glad to hear you've had a good experience with row covers!
Hi Netty, It is getting maybe 3/4 day sun. More sun than it is supposed to get. In more shade, the green is deeper. Because I was planting it in...
Hi Netty, I don't know what to tell you. I too have had difficulty establishing it anywhere but where you see it growing in the photo. I keep...
I threw some red poppy seed into one of my perennial beds 10 years ago. They keep reseeding. They don't really take over as the foliage dies...
