Thank you for the preview, Nathaniel.

@JungleShadows Kevin, I know the 'Powdered Pastry' is one of yours, can you tell us anything about the others?

Blackberry Bliss is mine too!

Kevin

Kevin, can you tell us who the seed parent is?

After the patents are filed they will be released.

Kevin

I saw this on facebook.I became very excited.And I was wondering which of these were kevins and now I know who to put on my wish list!

There might be some more in spring too. Lots of things are getting propagated.

I have two giants that are close.

Kevin

More to look forward to.

Here is the new Chick Charm Giant from the catalog. Meet 'Glacier Blue'

Very pretty. Thank you for posting the photo Nathaniel.

'Glacier Blue' has gotten to 16" in diameter for me. Can't wait to see what Melissa can do with it!

Kevin

Wow, Kevin that is huge. When will it be coming out, this coming spring?

It's in the fall catalog for spring delivery I believe.

I just gathered seed from it X it grey and pink sib. The mind boggles at how big they can get!

Kevin

I will need to put in a new bed.

I've heard about "bed stretchers" Lynn!

Kevin

Okay, what is a "bed stretcher"?

I used to secretly add inches to my beds and inches away from the lawn at my folks' place when they left me alone. Easy to add 6" and no one is the wiser!!

Unfortunately the magical bed stretcher where you just tweak your nose like on Bewitched is a thing of myth only!

I am amazed how many things I can fit into a bed, even those big boys.

My problem is that my largest bed is completely full of cultivars. No more room at the inn. The second bed has room, but that's the one I call the furnace bed.

You may have to try getting your plants in EARLY in the furnace bed before it becomes a furnace. Add some extra fertilizer and good soil to the new transplants.

I have faith you can tackle the furnace bed!

Kevin

Thank you Kevin for you vote of confidence.
I know it's doable. I have about 20 cultivars that are living there and are doing well. CC 'Steel Appeal', CC 'Copper Canyon' and CC 'Gold Mine' are three of them.
