Flower Fever....Anyone Else Suffering?

Nice seeds, quite the variety eh?
Just drop em in little peat pots or small pots with dirt. You could get fancy and get those little cello pacs from the nursery.
Get it on and grow.

Hey fdd.....cool seed choices. I have not grown any Bells of Ireland, they look like they will be fun. :clap:
I grew TX bluebonnet a couple of years ago and I put them in an in ground bed, they do not grow naturalLy here and looked beautiful...I had 'em in small containers before in ground planting.
Dianthus are real nice....they will do well in containers...Columbine should be fine in pot.
The Mammoth sunflower will need a VERY large container to grow to its potential....that strain gets, well, mammoth! In your sun they will be over ten feet tall with huge flower....sometimes the flower gets so big the whole plant droops over with its burden!...If strong winds hit they can easily snap without staking
The smaller multi flowered hybrids do very well in containers.
I can smoke a bowl or two and be totally mesmerized by flowers.
:joint:


Good luck!
 
i grwe a pumpkin half the size of a VW a couple of years ago came in 3rd place at a fair. the funny thing is that pumkins love milk.
 
What a fabulous weekend for gardening!

Question for you all:

I have a rose tree or others call it a patio rose. Well I covererd in winter both knots top and bottom. Now there is no new growth on top, but sprigs coming out on the stem. I scratched the top branches and no green, bottom has green.
What should I do? Is is it dead? Should I leave it a bit longer to see. Please help, I relly love it last year, so many blooms.

My other roses are doing great, full of red and green shoots. What's deal?

roses are the most mysterious flower i've come across, i see the same thing every year. some start right where they left off while others completely die back almost to the ground.. as long as you see those new sprigs you should be fine. what ferts do you give yours?

:mrgreen:I have exactly zero experience w/ roses.....one of these years....too many flowers and not enough time!!!!
Orchids and roses are in my future plans.....
Good luck Chiceh....thanks for input 7x.....!:joint:
