My smaller four-legged beastie goes outside for a pee and poo twice a day and then is whining at the door one minute later. I live in the same place that Helen does, but I think my dog would rather go live with Shell in Houston. |

Stay warm everyone! I just went to Target and they have started to set
up their seasonal section with gardening tools, patio furniture, etc... Spring is in sight. Or so Target thinks. But then I'm here in the banana belt (NC). Are the stores up north teasing you all with garden goodies? Heidi Helen J.

Humphf. I remember when I was a little girl, we used to put bread loaf bags over our socks, and then slide our feet into big moon boots, in order to walk to school in a blizzard ( up hill both ways of course). Heidi (who used to live in the UP of Michigan. Go UP'ers!) I'm no Up'er, I'm from Grand Rapids, but I too remember putting plastic bags over my feet so my feet wouldn't get wet in my boots. And I also walked to school, uphill, both ways :o) -- Ann, Gardening in zone 6a Just south of Boston, MA ******************************** |

Heidi well actually last week the Lowes I work at set out the seed trays, compressed Jiffy pellets and a display of seeds from Sutton's and Ferry Morse. I've already succumbed to buying some to try again. Despite that Lavatera is considered an annual in England, it's a perennial here. I also had to try the Agastache Apricot Dprite and will sow the seeds tomorrow so they'll have time to stratify. Along wiht the sowing of white Nigella and the Iceland poppies. The Nigella is named Mrs Jekyll White g. I also got some packages of wild gaillardia's. I adore those flowers! Now if only my unusual rolled petaled gaillardia's I happened on two years ago as a leftover seedling in a four inch pot at Lowes and that returned last year and had more flowers that I carefully allowed to dry between flowering before I gently crumbled the seeds back into the pot the original plant was living in. Then I got the new White FLower Farm catalog and what greeted my eyes but my rolled petaled gaillardia they call Fanfare..........so I had it first!! WOW! I sent Victoria my picture and made a picture of the catalog's picture so she could see the photo. I only hope mine returns with more plantlets this year! Looking forward to the Hellebore's now............and the emergance of the Blood Lily tongue. madgardener up on the ridge, back in Fairy HOller overlooking English Mountain where it was bEOutiful today, Eastern Tennessee, zone 7, Sunset zone 36 |

Arragh, went to Home Depot last week and they had a lonely rack of mostly flower seeds and single packs of cell trays. Lowes had nothing, but outside in the garden area, *everything* was cleared out and the lady who asked me I was looking for anything in particular (you could hear the echo, it was so empty) seemed to be waiting for something (like a big truck load to come in). Weather has been up and down, though ... 70F one week, 40F the next. (Southern VA, prob. a little south of Frogleg). |
