That is too cut.
Thanks Jon, I did not think of that. They are very old, so I think I will send them to the scrap yard.
Does anyone have suggestions on what to do with old window weights? I have replaced all the windows in my house, and have a lot of them.
I also have a question about collecting seeds. Everyone tells me to wait untill the flower is dry to collect it, but I see from above that you have blooms laying on a tray. Can you pick flowers and then havest the seeds. For example zinnia's?
all the marigold seed that i saved from last year came up, but i am finding that the are larg full plants, but small blooms this year. any suggestions?
file attached is moc orange flowers they are real different from yours.
Hello Becky, I am also looking for names of old heirloom iris. I have found bits of informationf from Schreiver's. I know that I have several from them. Please post any new information you find. Thank you Lisa
I am having problems with my bloodhound eating my water pumps/fountains. I guess she loves the algie it collects, and no matter what I do she sneeks in and tears it apart. Any suggestions?
It does appear to be Philadelphus or Mock Orange, not all of them are fragrant. You should have no problem grooming them but they are naturally fountain like. Shearing them to a form isn't their best look- but heading the branches back, or cutting t…
I sorry to burst your bubble but it's a weed.At least I call it a weed
I am wondering about the lack of fragrance too. Has it been cold? A lot of flowers need warmth to bring out the fragrance...I know our roses smell stronger during the hot part of the day.
I agree. WEED. It will be everywhere if you don't pull it out. Many weeds try to look like other plants. I have a rule, if I am not sure I will plant it in a pot just to be sure. If it doesn't bloom or look ornamental then I make sure to destroy it.…
Thank you so much Greg. My sons use google I did not think of that.
Beautiful. Simply Beautiful.
I am trying to lay out a new surrounding for my pond, anyone one have great web sites with water garden plans or programs to buy? I have heard that there are some that you can take a picture of your area and down load, but with the prices so high I…

Starting seeds.
I am in Kansas, but I can not wait any longer. I am starting some seeds inside. I am expanding my cool plants, and making an herb garden this year. My problem is that I love to cook Italian and my son (10) want a tea garden. Were to begin and stop.

Sheri - WA./San Juan Islands said… - Hi Lisa and "Thank You" for your comment on the watercolor painting I did of Gail Freiherr's photo. She has quite the eye for photographing birds and I find them inspirational! There is a new group for painters that I've become a member of. The group creater is a wonderful talented painter herself!

Jennifer said… - Hi Lisa, Do you know what type the rose is? Any major pruning should have been done in the late fall. If you cut it back that drastically it will be a set back. If it's a climbing rose or a rambler there will not be any flowers this season. It takes several years to develop flowers on the climbers. The blooms grow on old wood. Does this answer your question? Let me know if you need more info?

- Lisa I am a big fan of Roses. I see you like Irises too. They are my next favorite flower. I like to see the pictures of out peoples gardens. You get new Ideas. Your question on the wild violets is a difficult one because they self seed. Even if you dig them up they will come back. I love them personally but I understand your frustration.
Send them my way. LOL

Susan Mertz said… - Lisa, thanks for the friend invite. I'm glad you are feeling better. I saw you are a member of the roses group. Last week, my husband and I stopped in at Loose Park and walked through the rose garden. It is just beautiful. We were in a hurry on the way to a relative's house for dinner so we didn't have much time. I hope to go back with my camera and take some pictures. Have you been there before?

Carol McIntyre/Zn5/WI said… - Hi Lisa--- Thanks for adding me as a friend. I have a ravine in my back yard that's naturally edged with wood violets. I started to introduce some into my flower gardens a few years ago as a fill in, but this year--- OH MY !!----they've just gone wild! Huge! In sun or shade! Guess I'll just pull some out and try to control them that way.
Your pictures are lovely!

Clare, your Pinky Winky is beautiful - love the blooms and the pink coloring of the branches too. My paniculatas Pee Gee and Limelight are already blooming too, about a month ahead of schedule! Now I am wondering whether I should have done reshaping…

Diane, sorry for not making my message more clear - my reminder was about those shrubs that need to be scaled down and in my region (zones 5 & 6) the buds for the next season form on new growth in August so cutting the brunches after July would have…
delegating thats an interesting idea. the onlyone to delegate to is hubby and i know what he will say.
Crazy rainstorm last night, ripped down half the ivy on the wall. Had to cut it down, so I figured what the heck I'll collect snails in my garden. Armed with chopsticks (they make it way easy to gather up tiny guys under plants if you are profficent…
Love this flower. Never was able to grow it though. Thought it was called queen Anns Lace. I think it adds charm to the garden.
thanks Bob
Sheryl, that shouldn't be a problem, I have a seed feeder in close proximity and the humming birds seem happy enough to share. They just seem to perch on the tiny twigs where the big guys cant get to. Chech the surronding territory, perhaps someone…
