Trying new plants this year
Comments (3)Hey, Edna, I have that foxglove. If you started from seed, I planted mine out two winters ago and they are still small. I love the leaves though. I have a couple of clusters of these and looking forward to them blooming. If you want more love in a mist, I have some seed. They are very easy from seed. I am changing over from the light blue ones to purple ones. Need to get out and thin the blue seedlings. Once you have one of these, you will have them. Totally cool seed pods....See MoreComing out of the Closet...
Comments (10)Welcome & Congrats Kathy, Don't consider this an addiction but therapy!!! (lol) I also have a small space but have incooperated many tricks to place hosta's and still have the beloved perennial collection that I started out with first. I will tell you I got bitten by daylilies also at first. But since I needed more room for hosta's I dedicated one area of my yard for the daylilies. Their leaves can spread and their heads are in the sun. Now I am left for areas for hosta's. Also pots & urns can be used to elevate some above others...get the idea. More space available. This year we have a brain storm....we are using our large lined baskets for hosta's, instead of impatiens. My baskets have holes tucked around the sides which I will place some impatients in for color. So be creative...there is always room for one more! There's also mini's and smalls....See MoreAnd just who do we have here??
Comments (4)I did go to the Hosta Library and looked them all up. There are two yellow sports under Grand tiara - Amber Tiara and Grand Gold. The only difference that I can find between the two are the flowers, so I can always wait until it blooms. I would hope that it was Grand Gold because I already have an Amber Tiara. There is no green sport listed for Fantasy Island, but I went back to Island Charm and found that a green sport of that is called Green Lama (I don't know if I can assume that it would be correct). Peanut has a green sport called Goober - but I wasn't sure if Peanut is one that comes up green and grows into it's white or not. Joan...See MoreBathtub in a corner - Opinions, please
Comments (4)Our tub is in a corner. We've had no problems with that, and in fact I think a tub that is in a corner and actually attached to the two walls (as ours is--it's a classic 1930s tub with full tiled surround) is much easier to keep clean and dry since it limits the directions in which water could splash out of the tub. I suppose you could sit and swing, but I don't--I just step in. Oval is nice aesthetically, and when placed into a rectangular surround so it can be attached to the walls on one long side and one or both short sides, you also get a lot more room at the corners for shampoo and such than you would if the tub itself were rectangular....See Morepopmama (Colorado, USDA z5)
