I went to the garden center yesterday. It felt so good.
I went to look for dahlia roots. I want to grow some dinnerplate dahlias this year. I’ve been looking in gardening catalogs, but the prices are kind of high and there are shipping costs to consider. I was looking for a yellow dahlia. The garden center had one. It’s called Kelvin Floodlight. I also got Akita.
Being in the garden center was so exciting, I got a little carried away in the seed section. I knew I wanted to get some Moss Rose seeds. But I also got a bunch of others… Morning Glory seeds for the fence by the bird feeder… Zinnias for the back wall… Nasturtiums for by the pond… Bergamo Monarda for experimenting… and herbs for all over. Yay herbs! Yay seeds!
Those seeds are like crack to you, aren’t they? Such pretty pictures!
If ever there were a person who needs a greenhouse in their backyard – or roof – it is you. I really think you should get right on that.
THOSE ARE AMAZING!!!!! So cool & beautiful!! Will they bloom this summer?
Geez, with all these giant plants you have…..you’ll be like a midget when out in the garden, or is the correct term dwarf. Either way I hope a giant bee doesn’t take off with you!
1) Everything will bloom this summer, but the dahlias will be bigger next year after they’ve had time to get stronger roots.
2) I think the correct term would be “midget”, because “dwarf” implies disproportionate limbs. “Midget” just means proportionally small.
3) I don’t know where Lauren is. Maybe she got carried off by a giant bee.
Hehe…& oops. I guess the midget question was rhetorical.
PS–Where’s Lauren??????
As it turns out, Lauren was in moderation. She tried commenting twice and both times went to the spam folder. Sorry, Lauren. I have released your imprisoned comment.
(Questions are not rhetorical)
My mom used to plant Mos Roses. I thought they were from Mos Eisley.
Mos Roses. You’ll never find more wretched flowers of scum and villany.
