Hi Jay, I don't have those specific clones, but my Free Spirit and my Mini Purple are both under 8" (not including pot, which makes them about 9-10" or so tall). Both are reliable bloomers for me and very nice -- Mini Purple is a cutie and Free Spirit really brightens things up. I think Mini Purple might be fragrant, but I can't remember and it's only in sheath right now. Hope this helps. Julie

Hi, I have some seed that I acquired in a trade but I am not the best at the germinating process. I am just beginning with passiflora and have 3 but would love some advice if nothing else in exchange for them. They are some Asian sweet mini-melon seed. Let me know if you are interested. Susan

No one's answered yet, so I'll give it ago. I have a long slope, ten to fifteen feet deep by I have no idea but estimate over 100 feet long. could be a lot more, I'm bad at estimating distances like this. Anyway, it was once planted with periwinkle and juniper. Then neglected for years. This is our third year in this house and I finally got a handle on it. The weeds I had to deal with were: garlic mustard, weedy grasses, wineberry, poison ivy, bedstraw, queen anne's lace, dandelions, virginia creeper etc. I started by roundup brush killer on the poison ivy, virginia creeper, and winebery. In the beginning I was brushing it on the foliage with a paintbrush. I graduated into spraying as carefully as I could, cutting out any juniper or periwinkle I might have hit in error when it turned brown. I had a large area and became very impatient! And I pulled as many weeds as possible, sometimes I got roots, sometimes I just prevented reseeding. This year, however, I really made progress. I went out there as soon as the ground warmed enough (March) and started pulling weeds. I pulled yards and yards of poison ivy and wineberry. Then, when the new growth started, I again used brush killer. I have SO much periwinkle that if I killed some it really didn't matter, it will fill in easily. It's still a work in progress and will take a few more years before I have it the way I want it, but at least it's no longer a sea of weeds. Too late to try this year, for now I'd just get in there and pull. And use a pre-emergent so any weed seeds you disturb won't germinate. Hope this was helpful!

PnP, you won't regret it! Slipping these on has given me just a little Je ne sais quoie. Now all I need are some cute garden booties. I had a great pair, but lost them somewhere and my plastic clogs are too easy to fall out of on hills. Wish I still had an intact pair of wooden clogs. My fall-back are generalIy some favourite pair that gets trashed immediately. The best are those from Aldi's, so I may just venture in to see if they have any left at this late date. I'm guessing not. Anyway, check out the details on the coveralls at Duluth Trading. They have secret pockets and all sorts od useful detail. 14 total I think and a rear gusset that makes bending over easy. I'd probably reinforce the knees just knowing my wear patterns. Please post pics when done! P.S. I am 'sew' impressed with your design credentials. That must have been so much fun, but so much work also. Count me in as another closet designer in a past life, but only for myself, my mom and once for a friend. One of my besties was a costume designer and wig maker! as well as everything else artistic one could think of so we always chatted while he cut my hair about everything under the sun.
