Oh, Donna, I am so sorry I haven't seen the payment thread info...I will look at that link...must have forgotten to hit the "watch" for that thread...do you have paypal...I will go ook now...thanks so much for doing this!
Is there anyone that wants lantana that would like to come to my garden and dig out some nice four year old bushes? If so please dmail me. I have several I want to take out and make room for other things....thanks!
Who wants a Spring Roundup in GA ?
Janet it's best to send a check to me make payable to COMPOST WIZARD,
just so I rec by May 1st. I will not cash until May 15th.
Will post paid by your name on the Worn Casting thread!
Need Pre-Paid Orders so I know we can meet our goal of 50 bags for delivery!
TulipLady came today and brought her DD to get a large butterfly bush, two very large lantana, and multiple other items from my garden. What a beautiful lady, and her daughter is just precious! Very sweet, both of them. It was very hot, and I was worried about her digging in that sun, but she got done. and has lots of work ahead of her now at home....I hope everything grows well, and like I said, there is plenty more where that came from...LOL
I just love sharing my plants. Isn't it such a blessing to have others to share with! Hope everyone has a great day..it is very hot here! Too hot for me till later in the day...so I will be inside...wishing I was outside..lol
Soulgardenlove kindly called yesterday to remind me she promised to take me to the plant trade since I do not drive. How sweet is that?
I think I CAN go. I've arranged the work schedule so that I can have the day off and hopefully that will "stick". However, right now everything is a bit unstable with the renovations going on (they are cutting out the back half of my driveway now, making room for a HUGE new garden space :)
I've been potting up plants and seeding interesting things like mad. Croftway Pink monarda is looking GOOD, so are the Firewitch Dianthus, nepitella which is the smaller catmint used in some regional Italian cooking, I just seeded in Blue Basil and Purple Sacred (or Holy) Basil which is a lovely addition to a prayer or cross garden. I am also trying to get divisions of costmary or "Bible Leaf" herb ready. I should have some extra Purple Majesty Millet, annuals that can take heat and humidity by the buckets...and of course some other perennials - especially cut leaf cone flowers, lol.
I have extra christmas cactus and fairly common house plants to give away if anyone wants them (I add them to hanging baskets as the "drippers").
Lastly (for now) if anyone wants a succession planting of heirloom tomatoes, please just say the word. I like to plant some for spring and then I put more in later during the season.
GGG
Wonderful!!
:)
I'll try you again soon and we can catch up! :)

What are lemon lilies. Lilies are my favorite flower, but I have never heard of these. Please let me know, and I would love to have one too.
Thanks,
Catherine
That would be me...LOL The ones I have that I call Lemon Lilies are beautiful old fashioned lemon colored daylilies...that smell wonderful!!! These are from my Mama's garden, and I have some that get very tall, and some that don't but they are both yellow and both smell wonderful! Deb, you got some, I can't wait for them to bloom, how are the Iris doing? They should be blooming well, now! Mine are beautiful!
I will be happy to bring some for you both!
Would each of you please dmail me and tell me what you want..I have a folder I decided to try to keep all of my GA RU trades in, and that would make it so much easier, I can just transfer the dmails into my folder..thanks!
Janet, here's a status update on the plants you gave me last fall. The iris clump is blooming it's breeches off! I posted a picture of the first bloom somewhere on Dave's. It will need dividing this fall. It's probably 3'+ in diameter right now as well as a some of the shasta daisies. I did divide a few of the shasta's this week just to fill another bed.
The lemon lilies are growing; can't wait to see them bloom. I have them in a bed with your Jacob Cline Bee Balms, ajura and wondering jew.
I expect the itty-bitty butterfly bushes from last year's truck of goodies to do well scattered around the gardens at the pond. Wherever one is planted, the bed also consists of hummer and butterfly plants from winter sowing & sown inside with heat mats and lights.
The H. fulvas are scattered throughout the "wild areas' of the pond gardens. They can mulitpy and run to their hearts content.
After brushing back the mulch today, your 'Sweet Autumn' Clematis and Alstroemeria 'Sweet Laura' are breaking dormancy. Weigela and Lantana are still asleep. I hope they wake up soon.
There's several tall green & skinny blades sticking up that must be the spider lilies. Crinums and crocosmias are up. The Stokesia's are in small green mounds. I expect them to do well.
I haven't cleaned out the weeds around the yarrow. I'm sure they're under there somewhere.
The anise cuttings are growing fine. They are on my to-do list for transplanting into a decorative pot for the porch.
The Pyracantha cutting croaked. Hopefully the mono grass didn't though. Like the yarrow, weeds need clearing to find it.
Many of the cannas are up. I could kick myself for not labeling the planting spots on some of them. I move some labeled cannas today to other spots in the yard. Since I got them in the fall, I planted some in a nursery until I decided on a home bed for 'em.
Yea, well, now that I typed this, I'm too shamed-face to ask for anything else....Hummm, that feeling just subsided☻ Do you have me on your ru list for lanatana?
I'll take pics and post as the opportunities present themselves. Knowing your generosity, I'm sure you can go to lots of pics posted from coast to coast and 'visit' pieces of your garden! Can't thank you enough for giving me my first garden start from all these wonderful plants.
You are so welcomed, I would love to see your Iris, so go take me a picture with them blooming their breeches off! LOL I have just taken a big red lantana out of the ground to make room for some lilies and canna...lol Cody came and dug up a really big confetti one and a red one too...but I still have some other nice large ones, I wish you would come and get them one weekend! Give me more room to plant...what do you say? Bet I have some other stuff you would like too..LOL
Oh you tempt me. Wonder if Sterhill lives cloise? I want to raid her H. fulvas too. LOL I'll talk to my driver and see what I can do.
Sterhill is about 45 minutes from my house she is southwest of me....
Janet, here's a pic of the first bloom. The pic doesn't do it justice. The wind was blowing .

Thank you GGG. It's my first blooming iris. Or should I say, first iris to bloom. LOL
Deb, I've gotta have some of those Iris!!
Love to share some with you, Donna. They're mulitplying like crazy.
Thank You, Deb!!
Deb, if you don't have enough, I can share more of mine...LOL I am so excited to have my Great Aunt's Iris going all over the USA!!! She would be so happy!! These Iris have been in my family well over seventy years....
Janet, I planted your historics in several places. It's so amazing to me that this particular lineage of iris multiplies the way it does. When I first got it from you I planted it in several different places in various beds. Take about clumping, Wow, I planted them with what I thought was good spacing in a triange. The middle is full. It's the same way with Sterhill's too. However, the ones I bought last year, with the fancy names, haven't grown much at all.
edit to say....I misspelled words. Too tired to fix'em. LOL

Here is another picture of the iris...they bloom very early and then again in the fall...
Yes I know all too well how quickly they multiply! LOL I am constantly separating and sharing these...LOL
I want to go! I miss all of you guys! Go to the trading thread. I'm going to post my list.

Finally got some rain today so maybe some of the things will start emerging.
It started lightly raining here at 4:35p,m, and hasn't stopped. I'm wishing it your way, Elaine.
You're coming, 101. Lord willing and the creek don't rise.
Boy I sure was hoping we would get a good rain, we didn't get enough to even wash the pollen off the sidewalk - they say we may get a little more on Tuesday & Wed - I sure hope so.
Gosh, Azalea, if you'd told me I would have wished some up your way too. lol
It was a really good rain. Rained for about an hour real hard. Sorry to hear all of the wanting rain and not getting any. I was right there with ya'll until about 4 yesterday afternoon. The prediction was for rain and it kept sprinkling but nothing to really call rain all morning. I thought the weather man was pulling an April fool joke on us but it finally came.
Elaine sure hope you do make it to the roundup.
Well, according to Accuweather, we MAy get another chance of a T Storm tomorrow, then no more for at least a week. Happy for those that got it.
Hey
This sounds lots of fun! I'm looking for landscpe anchor plants or Trees - for natural screen, American Arborvitae, flowering type, Japanese or Norway maple, magnolia, crape myrtle, Ginko (or any bright yellow foliage), pink dogwood, redbud, etc. D'mail me please. Wenny
Well, it was definitely an April fool joke, because we never did get any of that rain. :-( I'm praying praying that we get a little today. We still have a 30% chance in the forcast. I've got my tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers out. They sure could use some rain! I'm real excited about meeting everyone. I'm not sure what I'll have to bring, though. I'm still looking around.
No rain In Douglas either! I'll start draggin water-hose's, should wish my dream irrigation was in!!!
l01 where is way down south for you?
Donna
Hey, 101, a mater sandwich would be nice! LOL
Azalea, I just realised I still haven't paid you for the BBQ. I might bring a cousin to the RU as as I hear from her she's coming I'll the desired amount, okay?
Georgiaredclay- i saw your post again frm Mar 1 about the Confetti lantana?? Is that pic for real? That butterfly seems HUGE compared to the plant, are the flowers that small? OR did you "alter" the photograph?
