Beginner Gardening: Stir crazy, but there's nothing much in the nurseries yet, 1 by Zuzu

My entire driveway is full. It's such a good thing I don't have a car. I have to move containers of plants and bags of potting soil out of the way just to take the garbage cans out to the street every week. I keep thinking everything will be in its proper place by the next garbage day, but it never happens.

Hi, Polly. I definitely will take some pictures of the primulas tomorrow if it isn't pouring. He had them in about 20 different colors and blends of colors. It was so hard to choose just a few, but I already had a bunch of tree roses, cyclamens, and other types of primulas in my wagon. There were a few other customers wandering around, and the nursery owner gave me a 10% discount because he heard me urging them to buy everything in sight.

Hi, Iris. I love your photo. Yes, you definitely should have a bog garden. I made one a couple of years ago and I love it. There are so many plants that do well in a bog.

Polly, all kinds of lilies do well here. I also love the OT's and the Orienpets. People are really doing some wonderful experiments with lilies now.

Bands are the smallest containers for roses. It's dark outside, so I don't want to go out there with a tape measure, but I'd estimate they're about 4 inches square and 6 or 7 inches deep. I should amend that to say I used to think they were the smallest, but this year I ordered some roses from Almost Heaven. They sent them in something like a glorified thimble. Amazingly, the roses started growing by leaps and bounds the minute they were repotted. The picture below shows one of those containers in relation to a cat. Bands are about three times the size of that container.

Pirlie, according to my list on helpmefind.com, I now have 1229 different roses. That doesn't count duplicates and the mystery roses I can't list because I don't know their names. Isn't it nice that I have 20 acres? Haha (or as someone else might spell it, hahhaahahhhaa). My poor half-acre was bulging at the seams hundreds of roses ago.
