Thanks for the compliment pam!!! But you make me giggle....show garden, yup hope so...for me...lol. Maybe when I can get my ---- together lol..... I know I spend too much time on my gardens..but love it so. I still have soo much I should be doing for my house yet...kitchen is still not done...soooo much remodeling to do yet.....but my flowers give me soo much pleasure.. I wanted to make it a plant nursery years ago but just don't think it will happen. Can't get my plants big enough by May when people want big plants (1gallon) not just a 21/2" pot.

Susie...absolutely, when they are hardened off enough this spring to make the trip, goodies will be coming your direction.... and by the way...still working on your plans...so I won't be putting them in the box. Anyway I figured out they wouldn't get there til March or so....am hoping I can get them mailed brfore then, lo....ok I'll get back to work on them again...

Pam...remember you can trim roots of those plants that need it usually without any harm.....but don't do it to those with a tap root>>>>> When I was transplanting my Digitalis I cut half the rootball off and they are just doing fine now and are growing great.

I've never done anything (chilling) for my Aquilegias. Will have to pot them on in the next few days tho.

Pix 1&2 digitalis, am thinking I trimmed the roots on tray 1(Alba), tho not on 2 (Pink-purple)
Pix 3 Aquilegia c. Yellow fragrant, A.Maggie Mae, A. Short Spur Blue, A. Short Spur Pink, A. Neighbor's mix, A. Sweet Rainbows, A. Chocolate Soldier, A. v. Winky Double Rose-white, A. vulgaris stelata 'Christa Barlow', will all get roots trimmed, potting on this week. All sprouted 7-14 days no chilling nor bottom heat, just lights and a dome over the tray.
Pix 4 my Lobelia cardinalis, nothing on my siphalitica yet (oh and I want it soooo..lol.)
