Anyone Getting Anything Good In?
Just wondering what you all have on order, or plans to buy when you hit
the ground running after the last frost. I've got.. Oh gosh.. Alot of stuff ordered and coming in. Just got 4 grape vines and 5 blueberry bushes in today. I've got some leaf mold piled up from the fall leaves that I'm going to mulch them with when I get them in the ground this weekend. Bunch of other stuff coming.. Some shrubs, pile of flowers, etc.. So how about you all.. Ready for that last frost? -- Zone 6b, SW KY - http://www.hildenbrands.com __________________________________________________ _________ Enjoying the new found space, but secretly wanting more. |

Got some walleriana 'Bruno" coming up from seed, and a bunch of trailing 'Fanfair' ordered. A big bunch, the minimum order is killer. |

Fanfare Petunia?? I'd LOVE to try some of that... I've got a hair brained idea of having planters on the flat roofed part of the house and having trailing plants grow down from them.. I could swear I had a source spotted for that in the US but now I can't find it, nor the zone information on it.. Hmm.. Maybe it's not good for this zone but I was just taken by it. Oh well.. As for roof watering, be a snap to set up a timed drip irrigation just for the roof planters since power and water can be so close. With a little drilling and setup.. Let me know how they work out and if they're water hogs or not.. I'll do seed starting next year most likely.. I've got a spot in my basement near a window, sump and power that I'm going to end up building a grow shelf at. For now though, we're doing most from started plants. |
