I thought about the million bells, too raglady, no deadheading... and the snapdragons, too. I like it that they come back in spring..I had impatiens come up in brug pots over winter, and bloom- wind must have blown seeds in there. I didn't think the caladiums, alyssum or snaps would take the fertilizer.. so, now I NEED to go back to the nursery... (awww, shucks;) I went to Ace Hardware at lunch to get some tubing for my stock tank pond and they had nice impatiens, $1 for 4-pk... Naturally, I bought a flat (and 2 fuschia) and my tubing, of course.. but I did notice white alyssum and snapdragons...... it's right on the way home. Glen, if nothing else lures the moths, blooming brugs and moonvine blooms will. One of my favorite things is to sit out in the evening to enjoy brug scents and watch for the swarm to arrive. Camera ready, headgear for the dive-bombers... I usually let the cats have a few leaves, as a thank you for the show and I find them a different meal.. away from my plants (neighbors tomato plants are great "plate" to relocate them to. lol, I don't -they down even have a garden)
