Ok, I planted tons of gladiolas, just one yellow one bloomed... now, when can I take then out for the winter??? I can't stand looking at the green things...
Can I cut the daylilies and asiatic lilies down? it't looks very messy...

Laura, I have about 10 datura pods(the size of golf balls like you said) and the datura is growing like crazy... when can I spread the seeds for next year? I saw a border of daturas in Sherborn the other day and it was beautiful... so maybe I could plant in the front of the house...

I have been collecting seeds from everything I have... marigolds, holyhocks, purple cone flower and other things...
Ballon flowers ... I am going to do an experiment... let's see what is going to come out... I am going to do what I used to do in Brazil... just sow all the seeds in good soil and wait... that's what I did with the annuals (coreopsis) and they came out ok.

I planted some hard mums that I got from Rivers Edge ... they were blooming and root bound already... so I planted and took some of the flowers... I hope I didn't do anything wrong... are mums perenials??? I am planning to more next fall... they smell good...

Wow, so many questions!!!!
