I did some reading about Lemon Beebalm and it does like to grow in this area. I am really hoping it becomes a permanent plant and knowing how well this one is growing, I may plant some next year in this area. Thanks again everyone!! :-)

Ok guys....I stand corrected....there is the SLIGHTEST hint of smell to this flower. It has a lemony smell to it. Not knowing it was a bee balm, I didn't recognize the smell as even having fragrance. But it does, just very faint. Thanks again!! -)

Thanks so much guys!!! I googled the Horse Mint and found this that seems to match fairly close to what this plant might be in the Burpee Seed Catalog. Bergamo Monarda.... Oddly enough it has no smell!! Disappointing but I am enjoying this plant greatly. It is a perennial so I am praying it...

Ok all you flower experts! Can you ID this plant for me? It is about the same size or a bit taller than a snapdragon. (one is growing on the right of this plant) This plant has similar leaves as a snapdragon. I am not sure if this plant is a wild flower or not. Every spring I sprinkle wild...

You have been given some great advice! I don't prune tomatoes either. They grow as they grow. And usually they over grow and become monsters! A few plants can fruit out enough to feed the entire neighborhood! Definitely get plants suited for your climate. It makes all the world of difference...

Oh how lovely!! Your basket is gorgeous!! Don't you just feel so satisfied growing your own food? I just love to go into the garden and cut lettuce or other veggies for immediate consumption. I keep chickens too, so it is easy to swing by the coop for eggs as well. Such a good feeling to know...

Oh that is awful!! I have had this happen to my veggie garden as well. We get our worst hail in June and July, of course when plants are fruiting out. 2 inches of large hail will destroy it all. I hope you have time to replant!

Congrats majorcatfish! Very pretty picture! :-)

Our little Maltese is a real puller. He is perfect in every other way, but is just awful on a leash. I recently purchased a no pull harness for him and it has made a huge difference! He wants to pull but when he tries, the harness seems to stop him from tugging hard. This is only a recent...

How nice of you to bring a dog home from a shelter. Nothing better than a second chance on life. I hope she brings you great joy! :-)

Hello there and welcome to TEG! LOVE your greenhouse! I have a similar one, about the same size but a bit different construction. Looks like you will be able to grow all kinds of things in there!! :-)

Hello there and welcome to TEG! Yes it takes time to learn how to garden in different climates and zones. The first year might be a trial and error period but what you learn from it this year, you will learn what not to do next year. :-)

Hello Ray and welcome to TEG!! :-)

@baymule LOL...I guess elevation is relative. If I went to 600 feet right now I would feel like someone was jamming oxygen down into my lungs! Air is pretty thin up here. Hence I believe I lost my mind years ago. :th
