The first plant is Motherwort and the second one is Ground Cherry.

Thanks for your reply, simple life! :D Well, I potted some of the water Irises and left the seams to the outside after thinking about being able to fold the pots down. ;) Here's some pix of the pond for everyone's viewing pleasure (clickable thumbnails): The lady who...

I'll post pix here in a few hours! ;) Dawn

I'd like to third the Ponds and Water Gardens suggestions as Skip and I just adopted care and maintenance of our aquarium clients 5-tiered water garden and I have alot of questions. :thumbsup Dawn

Beautiful pix! Thanks for sharing! :hugs Our irises are just beginning to bloom, here in TN! Dawn

We have been blessed with taking over the care and maintenance of our aquarium clients 5-tiered garden pond. I have several small container ponds here at home and am in the process of repotting some of my pond plants to move to his pond. We ordered fabric pots to use and my question is: Does...

It was a bad garden season (2008) for me also. By the time that I had gotten the cast off of my right arm, the "hayfield" we live on had reclaimed my flower beds. We'd been in a drought the last year or so and the red clay was worse than concrete so there was no digging the huge clumps of grass...

We're about 30 minutes south of you, just south of Sparta and about 30 minutes north of McMinnville. I transplanted myself in this are back in '87 after growing up in South Jersey (edge of the Pine Barrnes). Dawn

Dawn419 here and at BYC. :D

Dawn here! :frow It's been totally hectic here with Skip/doc_gonzo being back at work. We plant our Vandas in the wooden slat baskets (for larger plants) or clay posts occasionally (for smaller ones). We use either Schultz or Better-Gro Orchid Mixes for planting. The Better-Gro link also has...

Yes, those "berry-looking" things are the seed pods. If you let the seed pods dry on the plant, they should self-seed for you. If you decide to try seeding them for next year, wait until the seed pods are completely dry before you harvest the seeds. Hope this is some help! Dawn

Wow! I can't believe that a month has gone by since I last posted here...been busy with yardwork, family visits and house/critter sitting for our friend/neighbor. More blooms from the last month... Yellow Pond Iris... Another Clematis bloom (from the same vine as the pic I posted on...

:th And Skip wonders why I don't trust anyone to mess with our yard or animals! We had a friend/neighbor help us mow our front yard 2 weeks ago...you'd think that upright boards around a big patch of Oregano, on a hillside, would be safe...he mowed it to the ground with the weed eater than ran...

Hey Dixiedoodle, I'm working on taking cuttings and getting them rooted, if you'd be interested in trying them. Just let me know! ;) Dawn

Thanks Pat! That's just what I needed to get a search started! :D Dawn

Here a go...Nasturtiums And a couple of mine from last year... Dawn

Thanks for the replies, everyone! Since I don't have pectin or small jars on hand, right now, todays pickings will be sugared and put into zip-lock baggies and go directly to the freezer. I used to do tons of canning when I was a kid, between grandmom and my mom putting up the gardens every...

Does anyone have a recipe for freezer jellies? We have strawberries ripening and need to find a quick fix to preserve them before the wild birds and critters get them first. Dawn

I think it's a good idea also! I'm the cacti killer in our family. :( But I love Sedums for outdoors and my Orchid Cacti indoors. Dawn

We enjoy the "greens" as a Chive substitute in our salads and on baked potatoes. Dawn
