October Round-Up in south-western New Hampshire

A few hours later

I had litteraly nothing, not a freaking bloom to speak of. Now we go to RU,s and I have this . It was Kassia's RU in June, and you gardners make me feel good and I am now a gardner. Care for you all, my words are true. This is a few minutes ago.

I have lots of this varigated goose-neck loosestrife potted up. It's an aggressive spreader that will crowd out other plants, so if you want it make sure you have a large area for it. Here it is with Orange Vols daylily.

Wow, schickenlady, what a lot of progress you've made. It looks wonderful! Congratulations on your first garden.

Karen

I have lots of this double Kwanso daylily.

Oh Karen, It is hard when you have NOTHING to start with. My husband put in sprinklers and the rocks and more to make me happy and life easier. If he didnt I would not have been able to take care of everything. I look at the RU pictures and I almost get sentimental. It hits me. I am not sentimental but gosh, what can I say?

Karen, all the plants in the front of that picture is from the RU(I was broke). I made a rainbow from one end to the other. I guess what I am trying to say is RU's and plant friends do count.

Sherrie

I have lots of this red spider daylily called Abachee.

Sherrie, that is great that you have made so many new friends. I went to Kassia's RU last summer, and had a great time.

Karen

Did we hug each other? Oh gosh cant remember!
Ok friends outta here for tonight. CYA tomorrow.

I also have lots of tiger lilies if anyone is interested.

No, Sherrie, that was the RU at Kassia's in 2007.

Karen

Wow, Karen... It looks like you are bringing a treasure trove!!!

Sherrie - what an amazing transformation your garden is! It looks great! I think it is so sweet that you are sentimental about it and your DG friends! You are just great and it was so fun to meet you at Kassia's!

I also have this red spider daylily called Stoplight.

Here's another great red daylily I have a lot of called August Flame that I can bring.

If anyone is interested in these primroses, I have a lot of them as well. Don't know the variety name. They bloom in April.

I have this lamiastrum that is great for shade, though does well in sun, too. I really don't know what the flowers look like on this. I don't remember really seeing it bloom. More for foliage than anything. It's a trailing ground cover.

If anyone is interested I could dig up some of this large flowered single peony called Scarlet O'Hara.

I have one pot of these poppies I can bring.

Sherrie, your garden came out AMAZING!!!!

I have lots of this blue Siberian iris I can bring.

Very nice Sherrie!!

I like that August Flame too.

I also have a lot of pots of this persicaria or polygunum called 'Superbum'. This blooms in spring.

I also have a lot of this purple tall bearded iris that I can bring.

I have lots of this spider wort, but just a word of warning; it takes over. It needs a large area to itself, but it is very pretty.

I have some pots of chives, too, that I can bring.

I have these dwarf bearded iris that are powder blue and great increasers.

If anyone wants ajuga, I have lots of that.

And I have lots of these deep purple dwarf bearded irises, too.

So, anyhow, if anyone is interested in any of the plants I listed, just let me know. A lot will be bare root, as I won't have a lot of space in my car for potted stuff. I'm only going to bring what people say they're interested in.

Karen

Holy cow, Karen!
Sounds like you are bringing a garden mall with you ~ LOL!

Anna and I will let the guests choose first, then we'll take any leftovers! Deal?

I'm interested in the dwarf iris and 'Stoplight'...not that I need another DL but that one's very pretty!

LOL, Cancye! I could start a mall with everything I have.

Pixie, I will definitely bring some of each for you. You can't have too many daylilies, IMO. I have over 800 named varieties, not to mention all the ones started from seed.

Karen

OMG, how can you have over 800? I need more space!

Wow - 800 named ones! I have over 800 weeds. Can't repeat their names here...

weeds happen

Well, I have over 800 weeds, too, Victor. Just can't keep up. Always weeding to do. The Garden of Weedin'.

Karen

Holy Smokes Karen! I think I gotta pour over your long list better! Nice! I'll also be going over my garden, checking out what needs dividing.

Harper

Ha! I love it....you have more than me, but not as many as pirl. Now I have a goal see? At least thats what im telling DH.

How big is your garden, Karen?

Good morning, all.
I, too, have caught the DL fever. Like I said ~ I'll take any leftovers.
