Hello; I finally got back from the city. Found some SPVs, Ace of Spades, Marguerite, and Purple Night. $1.88 ea. But no Tri Color. I only got one of each, as I will need to either do them in containers, or dig up a new area, to keep them seperate. And checking the price of reg. SPs they were $2.99 for six pac, at Bomgaars. Sort of a farm home type store. I may look around a little more for the Tri Color. I may even ask our group of DGers going to the IARU. if any one has a slip from one, an work out a trade.
Cordeledawg. Coleus are a very good addition to a shady spot. I put a ring around a walnut tree as it was always too sharp a turn with the rider mower. Put about 10 inches of amended soil in the ring. and had Coleus, Huchuras ( spell) EEs. Hostas and Jack in the pulpits in it.
Pagancat; we had a strong South wind for three days then rain for another three. Today it is beautiful and we had to spend half of it in town for Dr. apointment. But taking advantage of being in town looked for the SPVs I'm planing on still setting out some tomatoes today and I have some diging to do for the RU trades, also devide some water lilies as someone has asked for some in another trade. This gets to be fun Right???? Oh well I'm looking forward to it. With the price of gas it may be our only getaway this year. Thats sad all the profits they ring up and they now keep the price up whatever the market will bear. Wonder what the city would do if we started to go back to the horse and buggy???
