Hi Pirl, just got back from my garden and I noticed some growt on the old branches on most of my clematis. I have not trim them jet, I was going to put some manure on it with bone meal. Should I leave them alone and not trim them or when March comes trim them and let the roots grow out. It is warm it here, and everything is started sprouting, some of my lilies are 4 inches high, the tulips are piping out too. I hope we are not going to get surprised with some havy frost and loose everything. I just bought a Hanrii clem, in dry root stage and have some little sprout on it. When should I plant it, or should just put it in a flower pot, and cover with mulch and put it in ground in March or April. Seams like I have pinks and blues, so I wanted to have the white with my new blue Daniel deronda which will come from Brushwood ..I have days off so I will be playing in the dirt all weekend. Thanks, Etelka
Just had to have some color in the house, so I bought some Cyclamen, my favorite from way back home.
