Oh, Ok----that makes sense----all of the plants with WFF on them were dianthus, but I didn't check the price. I only live 15 min. away from WFF. I did notice that many of the annuals were grown at a facility in Wethersfield, CT. My son, who's a landscape architect, told me many are grown in eastern CT as well for the nursery trade---his company gets a discount----and HE can get a discount if he shows his card. Does he ever offer to shop with me? Nooooo!
What have you ordered for 2009 - Part7
Received a large JM from David (Davidsan's Maples) today. Looks great. Incredible packing job. Photos to come.
that is good to hear victor - can't wait to see the tree!!
yeah it took me a while to get all those pieces of wood out of the box - must take him forever to put it together.
Yes - took me quite a while. Hate those big staples, though they do the job. FW uses tons of them too.
I splurged for a big one because I will use it as a screen. The area seems too shady for the viburnum I've had there for years. Hopefully the verticillium will not get this one. Nor the deer or bear too. And hopefully the VLB's will not get the transplanted viburnum!
Why did I not take up checkers???
Another one Victor???
Kind of like potato chips, Jen. ^_^
Hee hee!!!!!
well if it makes you feel better i dug up my almost dead forest pansy today and moved it to the back and out of site. it has one tiny leaf on it by the trunk where the branches start. it was sitting in water even though it was in a raised bed.
i ended adding more dirt to the hole to raise the bed even more and transplanted the paperbark maple to its spot and hoping it does better with a little moisture. if it takes this will at least give a prime spot for seeing the bark in the winter.
now i need to find another forest pansy - they do not seem to be around as much as they were - have not seen one at any nurseries yet.

Received the DL 'Mary's Baby' that I bid on in the lily auction---it was very nice, & the lady included a gift one--'Minnie Morgan'. Still have not recieved the 2 ordered from FL, but Thom said they were slow---hope he has his by now.
Took a while, but here's a pic of the JM I received on Friday from David.
Looks great----very healthy---what's the variety? Colors?
Ueno homare.
nice tree!
these two got me yesterday at agway... Randy saw the whining look on my face when I told him my apricot sprite & purple pygmy were only a few inches tall (from seed I started too late)

http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/177479/
Mine are short too - but I'm sure they will kick in soon enough.
ssshhh don't tell Randy that... LOL
I started some Sprite seeds and the pots are out in the garden.
You are a month ahead of me. Does thin mean I'm going to be disapointed?
no I don't think so..... when did you set out the seeds?... I winter sowed some outside last year and they bloomed... just later... good thing is once they start... they don't stop until frost
ok here is a comparison from last year
started these seeds on Feb 28, 2008 inside.... photo was taken on 5/11/08.. already blooming
the WS'ed outside ones... seeds sowed on 3/5/08 ... germinated 4/27/08.. the photo was taken on 6/16/08... I think they are the ones on the lower right... and of course I didn't record bloom time.. sorry
I still hope.
I think you will be fine... did they germinate yet?
Ohh yes and just to be on the safe side I bought 8 plants of Agastache Apache Sunset.
The Apricots are in the ground and up about 2 inches.They seem to grow bigger everyday now that warmer days are here.
Here they are, should I thin?
I was real well behaved and ordered only 3 of this from Bluestones 1/2 off sale.

for my blue and yellow garden
oh you will see blooms for a while... no worries.... yours look better than mine this year... LOL
can't tell how many are in the pots... so my guess would be yes on thinning .... 8 Apache sunset??? uuuhh what's your address again??? LOL
nice foliage on those Jen
Nice hummingbird magnets! And I like the centauria---mine is blooming right now next to a burgundy coral bells---kind of wild!
For sure I have lost my mind as I have purchased to the new Hosta rave can't think of the name now but it is Very Expensive.
Whew lot's to catch up on this one. Sherri you have a very prettiful red dahlia ^_^ Patti when you come to Canada turn left and keep driving. About 4 days later (give or take a day) you will get to my house ^_^ My last hosta order arrived yesterday. I have been good about ordering cuz I'm saving myself for a big fall bulb order, but I definitely need one more clematis and a vibernum this year. I am working on a list of possible choices to discuss.
