It was so cool out this am when I went out to feed the critters before work, I turned back for a jacket.. it was down to 60!
Good grief, I feel pressure about what to bring in first now..
Metros, plz send that last plant to me will ya?
The tapioca plant was on the close out shelf last year, I bought it it was about ten inches tall and full of leaves, but was wilted. I kept it going for most of winter, then it lost its leaves. I decided to plant it and let it either die or try.. it tried. I guess we will bring it in, or send it away to someone who can keep it better than me..
None of my Louisiana Cajuns have bloomed yet. I moved them to the patio, they better get going.. Last year they bloomed in the basement Garden all winter.
Rita, that is great you got blooms. I rooted a peony style bloom lavender and a pink one from my sis in laws house, and grew a purple one from seed it is blooming on the southeast part of the front already. I am moving them to the south east fence out back and will dig up the loniceras and put somewhere else.
