What Have You Ordered 2010 #4

Yes!

yes Pirl is right... I have no idea

:)

And now she's calling me Pirl.....thank you for the compliment!

sorry... and your welcome.. I am a bit whacked out tonight

It's OK, it was a nice mistake. ^_^

That Yacon was featured in a story about a woman who was 125 years old. She ate it every morning as some kind of mush meal.She lived on an island where it grew and picked her own.

Maybe AYC has found the fountain of youth and that 40 bucks is a better buy than she thought.
Allison has hit the jackpot for coleus that is for certain. Very nice batch again.

thank you.. and that order was very restrained compared to what I would have bought... I just stopped looking

That's a cool plant, Memory! Bill, I plant angelonia somewhere every summer---it blooms for ever! I liked all those coleus, Allison---the Pistachio one was my favorite.

don't know why I forgot that one in my RD order

Tried coleus 'Tobasco' last year & was very disappointed with it.

yeah win some loose some.. not all are great

That's true for all the plants---some turn into winners--others need to be dug out.

I just ordered coop roses from Chamblee. 18 different ones, nuts. But I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeded some more white ones and some dark reds and pale yellow ones and other colors too. Patti

New clems

I am enchanted with the short clems for planters.

Ge1836, Great color combo's. I will be intrigued to see how the short clems do and how you winter them over. What do you do with all your coleus in the fall? Patti

I took cuttings for the firt time lfall on 2008 and wintered over 3 parent plants that provided babies.
Being in a confidant mood last fall I took more.
The result

the bathroom November

Nice set up, hubby was complaining about my "farm" or so he calls it, in one little corner of the dining room.

Its alomst time for my March photo. I have cut those plants back twice since the pic was taken in Feb

Ge1836, You go girl! That looks like a nursery. Going in the business soon? You could pay for the bathroom renovation with all of those if you have a farmers market near by. I need to get going on cuttings for spring. Inspiring. Patti

I am not sure I will do so many next year.Its hard to choose a few as you know.

I love the painting of the bathroom in the bathroom! Nice growing--you got really good results with window light!

Thanks
Its a north window and there is a skylight besides.
It will be remodled in April. That will be the end of cuttings in the bath.

Great JoAnn, I took cuttings in the fall, and only have a couple spindly few left, nothing like yours. Of course it's cool and dark inside here, so...

Yep, they really dont like cool and dark.
Gro-More opens in a couple of weeks.

Wow Joan that is awesome! They look great! I wish I had that much luck indoors.

You got some nice ones there, Meredith.

yes real nice stuff!!!

Meredith79, Love the seed choices too. I got get some going and fast. Bought a few the other day at the Agway in Keene. Basic stuff. Holly hocks, delphiniums, nicotiana, zinnia and I can't remember at the moment what else except veggies. Patti

Thanks, I wanted more but I wasn't ready for a big order and those strawflowers I've been eyeing in the catalog since Nov. went on back order already! I think I remember them being sold out last year by March. I wanted some zinnia, statice and forget me nots too.

Now I am planning which Veggie seeds I want and from where. : )

Great choices Merideth.
I dont do seeds at the rate you do. Just a few annual zinnias and tomatoes.

Really nice choice's Meredith and from a great seed place too. I live about 25 minutes from Johnnys ^_^

Great results from your cuttings JoAnn. I love the clems too.
Nice order for seeds from Johnny's Meredith.
Looks like lots of colorful gardens all over this year, can't wait to see.

Me too.

Thanks, I am a seed addict - Half the time I don't even get all the seeds I buy started. I just save them for next year. I like growing from seed because it gives me something to do 'garden related' until Mid May when I can actually garden. Last year I was able to do some gardening in late April due to better weather than usual. Hopefully that will happen this year too. : )

Nice selection, Meredith---I bought quite a bit from Johnny's this year also....Jo Ann, your coleus looks wonderful! And I remember that painting, among all the beautiful ones hanging in your home! Went to Ocean State yesterday,,,seeds were 40% off, & bought some sweet peas & mixes which I don't usually buy, but I'm devoting more of my veggie garden to annuals this year. Also bought another trellis---guess I'll grow the sweet peas on it. Patti, tell us more about the roses---shrubs? names?

Thanks Robin,
Yes yes please do Patti : )
