I haven't posted in awhile...so I thought I'd catch up
Comments (9)Nice to hear from you Robert. I have companion plants to share with you -iris, dayliiles, and daffodils for sure. If you have a spare climbing pinkie, I would love to have one to climb on my deck (per your suggestion). Also per your suggestion, I put in a rose swag in the spot where you advised me needed roses (at the top of the embankment of daylilies). Keep us posted on your progress.

Comments (8)Envy is such an unpleasant emotion.... :-) My Explorer roses are the only ones that weren't heavily damaged by our May freeze, but mine sure don't look like yours! William Baffin looked spectacular last year, but this year he and all the others were attacked by the larva form of some pest whose name I can't recall. I don't like to spray, but I guess I should have. Anyway, your roses look absolutely wonderful!...See MoreWS - If they haven't come up....
Comments (7)Syreeta, I found sprouts of Belamcanda chinensis and Sarracenia purpurea on June 25th, I donÂt check all that often any more. So donÂt give up on the perennials. If you have had the same weather I have had the last while, that has not been helpful. A couple of weeks of hot dry weather and then a couple of weeks of cloud and "showers." 14mm last night! The town here put on watering restrictions for the first time since I moved here and ever since it has rained on the days I am allowed to water the lawn.

Comments (40)Here's what I did: I always have extra tomato plants even after I give them away to friends and relatives. I used to just drop them off at the local community garden with a sign FREE PLANTS. A few years ago, I started labeling all my plants with plant info, my hobby farmÂs name and email address on each plant. Two years ago, I took all my spare plants to the local community garden and posted a sign FREE on them. The difference is this time I stayed with the plants for a few hours and handed the plants out along with information. Most of what I raise are heirlooms so many of the community gardeners were unfamiliar with them. I received several emails over the course of that season from those gardeners, many were thank you and some were with questions. I saved every one of those email addresses. Then 15th of March of last year, I sent out emails to all those gardeners, plus my entire address book offering tomato plants for sale in time for spring planting which around here is Memorial Day plus or minus a week. I told folks what I was raising and that I would be selling them this year. I gave folks the option of reserving plants or taking their luck first come, first serve on the 2 sale days I would be having at my house. I got a few checks and a lot of emails. Then as the "Sale Days" approached, I posted the dates on Craigs List. I potted all the plants up to 4" pots about 2-3 weeks before the sale, hardened them off and charged $4 each for them, 4 for $15, 7 for $25. The pots were beautiful 4" pots I got 10 for $1 from Christmas Tree Shops. I sold every plant and added to my database with new email addresses from the Guest Book I had out at the sale....See MoreKathsgrdn
