Ronni, Just go to a nursery and stand very still. Soon you will hear the siren call of a plant, and then the chorus swells and you are deafened...
I couldn't help myself. I stopped by the Special Education Horticultural Outlet to drop off fresh dill (yes, I take dill to a plant nursery--don't...
Happy Birthday, Jen! Twenty-eight? You are just approaching the prime of life (my opinion is that the prime is next year, whatever your age). So...
This is the friendliest, spam-free, happiest place to be! I've been on other gardening forums, but didn't enjoy them much. I have learned so much...
Oh, Toronto! When we lived in upstate NY, Toronto was our favorite "quick vacation" spot--lots to see, very walkable city, great restaurants--we...
May I suggest that you add 2-3" of compost to the lawn, all of it bad spots and good ones, too. The compost will lighten the soil and allow deeper...
Yes Ed, if folks didn't ask questions, we'd all be more ignorant (and in my case that could be fatal :roll: ). Ask away, and we are eager and...
A request--please give both Jerry and Joyce a big hug from all the fellow Stewies that haven't yet met them in the flesh. You are going to have...
Have a wonderful time and enjoy every minute! I've heard that Denmark has some amazing pastries--would you try a few out and report back to us?
Dooley, how do you manage to get more done in a day that I do in a week? Your gardens will be lovely, despite the wind. I managed to clean the...
Hummingbirds seem to be best at ignoring humans. I can be weeding, dead heading, or just messing about near the feeders, and the hummers don't...
You are becoming a very educated gardener! Your choices make me drool :) and will look wonderful. Until you are really confident about...
Ronni, I apologize. I'm so familiar with the book that I forget to explain it. Botanica is a garden encyclopedia with over 10,000 plants described...
Welcome home (to the Stew)! You were missed. Hoping to see lots of pictures when you get rested up and re-organized at home.
So, where did you plant the malted milk balls? Glad to hear spring has finally arrived for you. We don't have a Rural King around here (perhaps...
Welcome to the forum from central Texas! I'd happily send you some of our excess sunshine :) .
Dooley, that is a very handsome iris, and the rose is absolutely lovely! I know what you mean about the wind--I've been trying to do some...
No Ronni, you are not clueless--the questions you ask show you are thinking about the area and possible plants. Plants' "mature size" varies from...
Welcome to the Stew! It speaks well for you that you are worried about the Mourning Cloak, but I've found (from sorry experience) it is best to...
Kiasmum, that is a very artistic photo! Thank you for posting it, and also congratulations on having your snowdrop chosen as the photo of the month.
