Re: drought

I do think this might be the year for the great get together and plant swap. Sounds like a great idea to me.

WOW...what a group we have here. Everybody willing to chip in and send
Pam more plants. I love this group. And Pam..you KNOW you can have
whatever I have..no problem. We have had a horrible drought in Oklahoma
as well. Not as bad as Texas...but pretty bad. I figured what lives,
lives. What dies....well, I'll just shop some more.

Pam, I've got pineapple sage, too. It didn't spread as much as normal last
summer because of no rain, but I'm sure there's plenty to share with you.

Pam, I always have Russian Sage, too, so if that doesn't come back, I can
get you some from here. Also, I'm sure I'll have some daylilies. If you
can tell me how to start some caryopteris for you, I'd be glad to do that
for you too. (Weigela is not something I have, unfortunately, nor any
Pineapple sage or Wild Thing salvia.)

Let me know how to help and I'll get it out to you.

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Yes, quite few. Pineapple sage croaked, the caryopteris (four of
them) also, even the Russian sage which likes dry conditions, I think all
of
three of those are toast too. Even my big Wild thing salvia isn't looking
too good. My weigela is a goner, going to replace it w/ a big rosemary.
No
telling if any of the grass will come back. If not, I'll just let the
weeds
take over the lawn. Been keeping all my viburnums well watered and the
roses. I think they will be OK, but only March will tell. Most of the
mints and purple coneflowers are history too. Some daylilies have
disappeared, but they may be hunkering down, at least I hope so. All I'm
planting next Spring are rosemary, lavender, thyme and salvias. And I
will
replace the purple coneflowers. They're a must w/ a bird & butterfly
sanctuary. I may do a few peppers in pots, because I must have my
peppers.
But I won't plant a big bed of them again. Ten months of this. It's
crazy.
Thanks for letting me vent Chris. I can't tell you how badly I want to
take
all the flood waters and redirect them to Oklahoma & Texas.
