They may be healthy plastic nasturtiums.............

Nope. You have to search websites and find out who *grew* the
nasturtiums. Unless, of course, your own are comparable. I've never
been able to nurture a respectable nasturtium. But I know what you
mean.

All of the colors in that last Shire part looked artificially heightened.
Maybe that's what gave the "plastic" look to the nasturtiums.

They do much better in cool weather. Mine go great till about May, then poop
out and start up again in September. Of course for those who don't know, I live
in USDA Zone 8b, Austin, Texas.

We have two short growing seasons here, rather than one long.

you know you're a madgardener when;
You are at a family members house and you notice their plants need some work.
You start dead-heading them as you carry on a conversation. ;-)

Or weed a friends garden, a complete strangers garden or worst, a public

Or weed the woods! Or potted shrubs at a garden center! Or you see an unkempt
house with a tree sapling growing out of their rain gutter, and you ask if you
can transplant it!

Actually, this is what got me into the industry. I used to go to my favorite
garden center all the time. I'd walk around looking at plants, pulling weeds,
cleaning the plants, even watered some. The owner came over to me one day and
asked if I'd like to work there. I quit my 18 dollar an hour (20 years ago)
job and worked for 6 dollars an hour at the garden center. I never looked back.
After a year I was the manager and director of the herb division. I went to
school, became a grower and that was that.

I've actually pulled a weed during a daylily tour.
But never ever dead head in a daylily garden, you never know if they are
hybridizing!
And if that new place up the road ever gets going, I just might start
pulling weeds myself!

LOL... yep, I saw them too. I know there was a lot of talk about they started 2
years before to landscape for the shooting... 2 years for the plants to mature and
look like they been there a while. wasnt it an incredible movie? Ingrid

They can stay weedy over here. I have enough to contend with with my

I do confess to removing dead leaves in nurseries... and almost choking

yes absolutely incredible. I can't wait now for them to release the
DVD to complete the set we've gotten already. (I have a bad habit of
purchasing the first release and then they came out with the extended
versions. This time I will hold back and wait until I know it's the
only version they're releasing. I told my husband it was a nice back
up DVD collection we have and he just says "yeah, right" but he loves
these movies too. Starz was playing the extended version back to back
with the release of Two Towers this weekend, but I pointed out to him
that the Two Towers version was the first release and not the extended
version. But it was nice to see both of them and then go to the Return
of the King the next morning. (boy was he glad I purchased the
tickets online for mattinee and we got there 45 minutes early for best
seating. The place filled up completely and they were showing it in
two theaters where we were)
