Would love the seed of Plum Blossom, when ever you can send the seed. Thankyou!!!! And in return what can I send your direction? Lol, thankyou! :) And just curious, what color is your grandiflorum.. I'm excited about mine, it's suppose to be a yellowish, 30", z4-10 and June-Sept. My pink grandiflorum is only 18", and blooms Junish only. Never reseeds either and the leaves on my new one are quite different from any foxglove that I've seen. Gosh, I sure hope they didn't mix up the seed with something else. Take a look at pix 2 above 4/11/13 and see if anyone might be able to ID the leaves of the plants in the first tray. Any ideas? (Seed was obtained in a trade from Netherlands.....do they look like a potentilla or maybe something else?). I have 38 of whatever they are....lol.

Pam, did you smell that Dianthus yet? Remember to pinch off old blooms and it will continue the whole season, getting thicker thru the season (pix 1 is of one 2-3 years old, pix 2, is 2 or 3 plants together, approx same age but both in 2 different locations, 25 miles apart)).. Collect seed toward the end of the season from a few buds as they are short lived,(3-4 years maybe as they bloom so profusely).

Was going to put up the plastic on my metal tube frame greenhouse today but the breezes are just a bit much...phooey! Now we will be having breezes (20+ mph) and a new storm blowing in. They said today was suppose to be the nice day before weather came in. Rain and snow on the way for 3 or 4 days and then I'll be sending east again..lol. So I'll just keep on potting, lol. I'm running out of room..... My tomatoes are against the lights again, just waiting to see how long before I start getting flowers on them, should be any time now. My other batch is ready for potting on, next year I won't be starting any that soon as I did the first batch, lesson learned. Lol!

I'm curious, what's everyones last frost date? Here where I am it should be around May 10 or Mother's Day. Z5-6 here. But I'm also at altitude and was wondering if that made any difference? So what's everyone elses?

Ok, I mailed out a package today for the froggie trade and included a few of my new babies, I'm going to see how well they make the trip. Fingers are crossed. First time mailing newbie plants. Ok, I've got potting to do...will chat later all..Kathy
