Smart Red, it looks like the pinks you sent me are starting to spread a bit, so if you ever need more, just let me know; okay?

That's right, Nyboy. And your Grandma's Rose of Sharon is growing tall! Yippee!

Thanks, Smart Red. I think I'll give it a try.

Cannas have to be dug up here for the winter, as they will rot in the ground. Last winter I just took the pots they were in inside the house, and they survived indoors. I'm hoping I can just keep them in the pots year 'round, outdoors in pots in the summer?

I overwintered some plants in pots and thought they were hostas. I moved the pots into the shade and was about to plant them in a shady spot in the garden when I realized they were cannas. Can I just leave them in the pots all summer? Anyone have any growing tips? I don't have much experience...

I love my Knockouts, too!

They are blooming just fine and are so fragrant-- all colors. I don't think the white spots are serious at all.

My Blue Pinks started blooming today, Smart Red!

I was digging up some yarrow to move it, when I noticed a green tip where I had dug. It looked like a lily leaf, and I said, "Oh, no!" There were lilies in the area, but none seemed disturbed and I found no lily bulb in the area where I'd been digging? It was also near Oriental poppies I...

Thanks, Nyboy. So weird that I've never seen this rose before, and I have traveled widely. LOL!

Could you post a pic of them, Nyboy?

I had to take mine out of the front garden, and they don't transplant well, so that's why I'm trying to figure out when is the best time to sow their seeds. I have had 2 volunteers spring up in my yard garden, thrilling me. One has just 2 podfuls of seeds, but the other, newer plant (bloomed...

I hope to have a whole yardful!

LOL, Nyboy!

Oh, I see. Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen them?

My Oriental Poppies are done blooming and have formed the big seed pods. When should the seeds be at their best for planting? I'd like to sow them all over, but I know timing is critical. It seems to me they don't just break open on their own-- the pods are quite tough and usually have to be...

I LOVE wild roses! You mean the hot pink ones that are so fragrant; right? I'd plant my whole yard in them if I could!

But the pliers idea just might work, thistlebloom. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks, Smart Red. I have a feeling I should have done this long ago. I doubt I'll be successful in a fight against Dr. Huey.

Excellent! Thanks for the estimates!
