Susie your gardens are beautiful.. I bet u and I would get along just fine..

my four o clocks always get so tall, over 5 to 6 ft sometimes. Last year my itty bitty balsum grew to a huge bush. I have a lot of different four o clocks this year, not many seeds atm, but that will change. had to cut down most of them when it got so hot as they would fall over.
Faye need to know what colors you have already, I just dug up white, salmon and pink from the south bed front side. Also have a white Texas star I am sticking in your box, it over wintered as a little stick, and came back as it grew closer to spring inside, and grew like crazy, then the heat did it in.
I saved the root ball and a stem, it is re-leafing. also found a volunteer passion vine with root, so I cut it off and dug it up, and stuck some other vines in the plastic water bottle, when you get that, sit it in a deep container so that the opening end that is capped, ( un capped of course) can drain thru the winter.. u all know I am a winter water bottle seed grower and my window sills all over the house get filled with water bottle "green houses" LOL Poor Joe.
Normally while digging and cleaning fflower beds, I let these things go, as they eat the crickets, however, since college girl showed me a video of one of these sacks hatching, I decided to kill it and boy, was it a fighter..
