If its invasive its a weed to me, if its pretty and not invasive its my flowers. LOL

I'm finally back, ye old laptop finally croaked and I've been trying to figure out the new one with Windows8, AGH! LOL Last year for shade I had a very large pot that I put vinca trailing down (grew into a waterfall), with dusty miller, red shrimp plant, red rose begonia with asparagus fern...

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Maybe next year think of growing a few of these Coral nymph salvia (or an array of salvia) marine heliotrope (smells wonderful) annual rudbeckia like chim chimnee, cherokee sunset, cherry brandy, etc. pentas verbena Go to tsflowers.com and you can buy packs of...

I'm trying to figure out what I'm putting with what in pots this year. I have all kinds of different things I grew from seed or cuttings and then I picked up some other plants when I could get a deal on them. What are you favorite combinations for part sun to full sun? I have pots from 14...

I have a HUGE mimosa that draws in the hummers when its in full bloom (they nest up in it) and I'm sure its 60-70 years old (its in my nextdoor neighbor's yard but reaches over to mine (80 feet wide and been trimmed). But that sensitive plant is too cool. That WILL be perfect for the fairy garden.

That IS absolutely beautiful.

I've gotten to where I have stuff delivered to my work address because of the little thugging thieves. I just got word though someone was sending me a box of plants (ones I have been looking for like 'totally tempted' cuphea, etc.) and I'm going to have to ask my neighbor to please look over...

I about lost everything in my greenhouse last year due to spider mites and me fighting them with everything you can imagine. Now I see my brugs cuttings have been getting them again, I just keep yanking them and blasting with the faucet water. But last night I saw some thin spider webs in my...

BTW, I have not potted them up (too early to plant out in the ground which is where they will go) but it makes it easy to yank them from the sand/water and blast the spider mites off with the kitchen faucet. LOL Forgot to say that.

I find it a lot easier just to do stalk cuttings in late fall (can't stay out over winter here), I had sand in a pot with water they have lived in all winter (I have a problem with spider mites on them every single year though) so I have kept them in that water (roots galore) in my south facing...

I go out and in our first snow of the year, I sow my poppy seeds, I have them really large right now (zone 6a) and apparently the ones out front have self-sowed themselves all over my gravel parking pad and along the side walk. LOL I think I'll let them grow if my neighbor doesn't think they...

Well recently I went to something that was catered and they had this chicken/cream cheese/artichoke spread that was to DIE for. I'm doing weight watchers and I found a recipe I think may just be it (I would think you'd need to make it ahead of time for the flavor to develop which would be...

Forgot to say I got a chuckle out of this thread (a woman to chew for you EWWWW) LOL but Canesisters you are so kind to do that for your horse, God love its heart.

Well Marshall here in Kentucky we too have a dental clinic you can get teeth for like $350 (or was that price several years ago) and my friend said they were the best set of teeth he had ever had. Mom had throat surgery and I learned to puree about everything for her. Her favorite was the...

I say coreopsis, coneflower, gaillardia, rudbeckia, perennial phlox, torch lily, fill in with snapdragons, petunia, zinnia. I like to have something blooming all year long so I have my beds packed with perennials and then grow annuals to fill in and I put down bags of chopped leaves and then...

How about getting some of that plastic fencing type stuff (comes in rolls) and tacking it up somehow on the trailer and then let vines run up, I too like the idea of produce, you can always do morning glories too, they'll cover pretty fast.

Beautiful photography! I noticed today trees are budding out, tulip trees are opening, even though we had frost last night, the sunshine today is making things come to life. WOOHOO, my favorite time of year!

I've had to top the ones that I had seeded, they were outgrowing my lights and I figure it'll make them stronger, hopefully soon they can go in the greenhouse, harden them off and then in the garden.

Well I have cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, spanish onions, candy onions, several types of tomatoes and a few peppers growing under lights upstairs, not sure what the deal is on the germination of my mixed bell peppers, got one from all those but ornamental ones are doing great and got one peter...

I have a little 8 x 8 homemade (plastic covered) greenhouse, I usually start all my seeds on an electric mattress pad on a table in the house with a florescent light over it (once you get them to germinate then you could transfer your tray out to the greenhouse) but you need to makes sure at...
