Now THATS willpower!!I went to another garden centre today, and they had quite a few perennials. I didn't buy anything, this time.
My willpower won't last for long. Just need to be patient under everything has time to sprout, then I can buy new plants to fill in the spaces.Now THATS willpower!!
I just love Day lilies! Beautiful long lasting blooms, huge range of colors, they can thrive in all kinds of soil and rabbits aren’t interested in them.I went to another garden centre today, and they had quite a few perennials. I didn't buy anything, this time.
Here's my day lily bed. It's showing life now. Still have to get the froggie ornaments out. And get some more solar lights.

I like them too, and plan to buy some more this year. I have too many yellows right now, which of course no one can tell from the picture I posted.I just love Day lilies! Beautiful long lasting blooms, huge range of colors, they can thrive in all kinds of soil and rabbits aren’t interested in them.
Those sound like Tiger Lilies, or "ditch lilies".I have orange Daylilies on the side of my house. They bloom late June here but don't last all season. I love when I find them filling roadside ditches; so pretty! I love that they are easy care.
Mine are still a few weeks from blooming.My lilacs are already done.
You've been busy!But I now have all my flowers potted. I counted...I'm up to 22.
Interesting that your daffodils and tulips bloom at the same time. My tulips are always a bit later.Our daffodils and tulips are (finally) blooming,
A very good start.and I got my 2 tomato plants- one, a 'sweet million', and the other a 'sweet 100', as well as a 'Goldsturm' black-eyed Susan, and a 'Cheyenne Spirit' coneflower. It's a start, anyway.
You've been busy too.I got my Shasta daisies, peppers, tomatoes, squash, and my herbs in the ground.
Had to Google. Very nice.they had an abutilon
Mine went at the same time this year. They don't always do that.Interesting that your daffodils and tulips bloom at the same time. My tulips are always a bit later.
Clemantis are weird=the plant itself has to get at least 4 hours of sun-but the base in the dirt has to be shaded...if that makes sense. I have several growing-I have one that is mostly in the shade and gets maybe 3 hours sunlight and then maybe 2 hours in late evening, it does just fine. The thing to do is put something in front to keep the base in shade. it likes cool roots but sun/shade for the plant. Average watering. It likes composty soil. There is one spot that I am always loosing clemantis because the base gets too hot from the sun-despite my putting 6 inches of bark mulch in front of base. This year will put a huge pot of flowers in front to see if this works.Not really. I grew them once, but they eventually died, and I never replaced them. They also grow these odd flowers, just before they die, which I'm not sure if I like or not.
Hmmm.... my first thought was clematis, but not sure how much sunlight they need.
Can't say that I have. LOL. Your plants/garden sounds lovely. It must be wonderful to be able to grow your own veggies year round.
