Hi Everyone,
Welcome to spring. I've been lurking all winter while
you people have been nattering on about a zillion
topics, including lately the pros and cons of various
varieties of poops. Have you no consideration for my
delicate sensibilities? Snakes on the kitchen
table!!pu-leeze!
Impatient gardener that I am, I am pretty disgusted at
this point with my garden. Last spring I emended my
garden soil with so many delicious and nutritious
things that I felt like I should top it off with
whipped cream and a cherry and eat it for dessert. All
this so that my plants, which were supposed to self
sow, would feel especially fertile and I would reap the
bounty of their prolific self seeding. Need I say that
this has not occurred. I find no trace of any little
seedlings, ready to leap forth. Nary a Columbine,
Poppy, foxglove, etc. is to be seen anywhere in my
garden. I still have the parent plants and they are
doing nicely, HOWEVER, where is the progeny of these
parents? Krystl, there is no sign of my Lobelias
yet..should they be showing up at this point?
I'm afraid to tell you all this, but the healthiest
looking plants in my garden are the shasta daisies.
Surely you can't have forgotten the agony and curses of
last summer generated by my recalcitrant shasta
daisies!. Since I lost my self ordained title as Grand
Poobah of bulb growing to Bill last summer, I will not
say anything more about them except that they are
coming along nicely and when they are all in bloom, I
should have a show-stopper of a garden.
After all this barrage of useless innformation, what I
need to know is this; am I incorrect in thinking that
some of the self-sowing perennials should be showing
seedlings this early. Do you think they will appear
later on or should I go out and buy plants to fill the
spaces that I thought were going to be filled with
newly developing seedlings.
