Re: Re: CULT: Cold-Climate planting

More about planting the heel, / the back of the rhizome -- if that is not 
planted INTO the soil, the leaves have a tendency to tilt the whole plant 
forward, and thus helps it to heave!  At least that is my idea and method, also -- 
and I do like to have at least a space the size of a quarter / fifty-cent piece 
(depending on size of the rhizome) exposed to the sun -- so all of the "toes"  
in my garden point South! ! !  
 Ellen, I really missed seeing you (I always enjoy your humor) since I didn't 
get to National!  How can you manage  with all that snow!  Guess that shows 
my age, by not enjoying it.  I do admire the fresh beauty of the "newly fallen 
snow", but it means I'm definitely housebound!  Rosalie nr Baltimore zone 7 ?
