Marge, and everyone out there that grow Digitalis, Lupine,Hardy
Geranium,and Campanula, I would love to be capable of sending you all a
picture of one of my small gardens (3ft x 30 ft) it is the most
attractive year to date. Last year I grew the Lupine and Digitalis from
seed, never realized how easy these beauties were to grow. I have had
them in my garden before for a year but had purchased them at a nursery.
The Hardy Geraniums (both pink and purple) were a gift form a friends
garden and a gift from our daughter. Along with Coral Bell, Columbine,and
a few others this has surely been a pleasing sight. I have a nice
concrete fountain with two babies standing on a shell like basin wedged
in there also, at either end I have a purple plum bush trimmed to look
like a small tree, and a purple leaf peach tree.
Last year I also grew Malva from seed but I wasn't too impressed with
these plants, so I have given most of them away and took a few and
planted them along the small creek (down near the veg garden) that backs
up our vegetable garden, pasture and lawn. This creek bank gets a lot of
my surplus plants, iris, yarrow,
ribbon grass ect. What do all of you do with your surplus, when friends
and family have had enough?
This year I have grown Canterbury Bells, more Lupine and Fox Glove and a
few others from seed. Is it just mine, or most Canterbury Bell sprouts
stems so thin and wispy? I had the dickens of a time transplanting them
from the 6 cell starter to a 4x4 pot. When can I expect blossoms from
them? this year or next?
