Sylvia, have put your name on the top of my prayer list. Having just gone through surgery myself, for once I truly understand. This time will be different I just know it.
Thank everyone for the ID on the two plants. Wouldn't you know the one would have a common name of "Squirrel's Tail". hahaha Still it is beautiful and I would be happy to share it with anyone. Don't remember buying it so it has to be a pass-along to me.
The "Button Mum" is from Mitch. It is another to be moved because the "Hoja Santa" overpowered it this last summer. It is more beautiful everyday as each stem puts out a bloom. Another that I will be glad to share.
The Plant Files tell that each of them will propagate with cuttings. Not being all that experienced myself, I would just guess that Spring would be the best time.
Finished planting the japanese iris and ditch lillies yesterday. Just like housework, everywhere I look I see more that needs to be done. Since January I was not able to do much of anything in the garden. Everything grew bigger and better all by itself. Of course Mike saw to it that there was plenty of water.
Mitch was my mentor and instructor and I miss him greatly not being here to stop by every now and then. He is now a Youth Pastor and tending The Lord's Garden which makes plants look like a breeze.
This past spring Rjuddharrison, Randy, came with a truckload of tropicals. We planted just anywhere there was a clear spot in the dirt. Every single one has thrived and the brugs are blooming their hearts out.
Broncbuster, TJ, brought numerous things but the timbers that became a raised vegetable garden are perfect.
These young men continue to bless my life and "our" garden. None of us truly own a garden. We are given an oppportunity to tend it so others may share.
Those of you who are new to DG cannot begin know yet the depths of the friendships ahead of you. The most caring, generous group of people on the planet have gathered to support each other in any way possible.
God is good EVERYDAY!
Christi
