Actually just one - a white Siberian iris. But I might hit a few places
for end of season bargains.

Recently, I found a chestnut in the local Arboretum and would like to
try growing it. Should I put it in the refrigerator? Start in a
potting mix or directly in the ground? Zone 7, e. TN.

they need to chill. how much room do you have in your
refrigerator? i put some in peat pots with potting soil, stick
a 9 x9 " flat of those into the fridge for about 4-6 weeks,
then bring them out. we have a fridge in the garage for
lagering beer, & i use that for chilling if there's room. if
not, i use the unheated woodroom.
if you don't have a squirrel problem (or mice or chipmunks),
you can try planting directly outside now. it should sprout in
the spring.

Good for you Cheryl! Hooray for sticky pots!
I removed a shrubby honeysuckle because it took up a large space and
bloomed a
very short time with few flowers. I got 3 echinacea, a gaillardia
Oranges and Lemons,
and a penstemon to take its place. It's a rather dry spot in full sun,
so they should
be happy and bloom a lot!

I'm also taking out a big clump of purple iris and will put in a blue
plumbago and a
rose Sally Holmes to replace them along a fence. Ya gotta bloom more
than 2 weeks
to stay around here now...........(friend is removing Sally and I got
her)

We had our first rain since June and it washed all the old ash from
the fires, and the
dust from the almond harvest from the tall plants, and they look so
happy. 1 inch of raind
and it sure cleaned up the air, too.

Add some sedum to the mix for fall blooms too.

I leave my iris in one spot (which I may have to move since the trees are
blocking the sun now in the afternoon). But I have the room to do that.

If you mean Sedum as in 'Autumn Joy' it blooms early here and is
pretty
much dried up now. It also fades to a cruddy whitish in the full sun.
Not
a great plant here, (I have many of the little ground cover types
tho )

the only hockey around here is the Field type!

Hey, nothing like having to go to the rink when it 95 and humid.


I actually like Indian Chief better as a red. Look for some of the yellow
blooming ones, very late here and really nice..

This year I am going to pull out all the irises and plant them all in
the same place. I'm going to do that with all the plants which are
the same. The way I have it now is one here, one there. I can't
properly care for them that way.

Yesterday I told Mark we should get the gardens in shape as if we were
selling the house. Chop down, hack back, clean up, clear paths, pull
weeds, etc.

It really does help when you have a fully trained husband who know
what to pull and what to leave and we enjoy being out back together.

One problem, it's still 85 degrees here. So hot, not a drip of rain
since May and the air is thick.

It got cold last night - nearly a frost. So garden time will wait until it's
warmer out.
