Well, I'm gasping here! What a beautiful picture of your borders! I just purchased some 'Solan' and was wondering if each clump in your picture is one plant or more than one. Just need an idea of how wide one plant would get. Curious too as to what is the name of the light green fluffy plant on both sides of the walkway near the marigolds? One more question while I'm at it...You don't have dogs roaming around in your yard do you?

Can't wait to meet you at the round-up!

:) Well Thanks Deborah! :0 It's a far cry from whats out there right now :) But I'm getting ready for the season. I did see a little mildew on the leaves, but I will still grow it if i can get my seeds to germinate. Yes, I think each clump you see might be up to 2 plants. I really overcrowd.. not on purpose, but just do so. Yes, I have a dog and she knows better than to walk in my beds when their are plants there and her bathroom area is in the back and she just guards the front as I garden with my kids. The fluffy plant is silver mound artemisia and I have written about it in the plantfiles. Looking forward to seeing you at the RU too! I need to get my act together and start planning my seeds!! :)

gosh yall!! Thanks!! :) I looked at the picture and realize I did okay!! I'm still working on it and it is ever increasing. I really need to get my seeds together and start working on them now!! After this cold passes. Read my profile and see that I didn't have a clue a few short years ago when I joined.. and I'm still learning. It's just a lot of passion is all.
