Sally--
How are ya? Don't hear much from you.....

It is MOI that needs to be committed--all the time I spend fussing about my garden...
I recently bought a 10" pot of some kind of New England Aster that Bell had marked down for $2.97.
It was sort of dead on one side. It is not the tall rambling version--but one that grows about 3' tall.
Consulted someone by D-mail-and she said this one "behaves" well.

It sat around for a long time here--not blooming--but it had buds.
So yesterday, I dug a hole in my "YUK" bed and planted it. That will be this Daisie's home.
It is blooming a bit now--a pretty dark blue...

David--That Rose is amazing! I should post for you a picture of it as it looks in the first
bloom flush in the spring. This rose has so many petals, that sometimes, it has two centers...
It is an old one--long ago out of patent time. The smell is so sweet--just like a Granny's perfume.

Cold this morning! And raining....Slept with my comforter on last night...so comfy!

Gita

Here she is! In May.
