I also have a few herloom tomatos that I was given. I have no idea of the variety so it will be a surprise!

I had Charles Johnston bloom last year for gthe first time, and it is FABULOUS. I think it is my favorite red (and red is my predominant color) I had it planted behind a cottage daylily that outgrew it in height, so I transplanted it last year, and it didn't do well - I babied it a bit, and hoped it hadn't died. But, it has survived the winter and is doing OK this spring so far. Even though the clump size is smaller, I am thrilled it is thriving now.

I just ordered and received a couple of Mick Morry's WWI series - Passchendaele and Lest We Ever Forget. They are going into pots temporarily while I build my military bed - hopefully I will get a good start on it this weekend. Nice hugs fans from Karen Newman, who I believe is his US seller.

Thanks for posting such beautiful photos! ~Jan

I love Baby Boomer too.. It bloomed for the first time last year, but it only had a couple of buds. This year it is doing much better.

Jan, you are correct, Karen Newman is his US distributor. She is also his test grower for the States. She does send great plants. I don't have either one of those that you mentioned. I do have a few others of his, but I don't think that they are part of the WWI memorial series. Glad that your Charles Johnson survived the winter. Mine bloomed a long time last year. Hope yours does equally as well.

Laura, we are enjoying your pictures. I remember your Blues Avenue from last year. I like the eye in it and would like to add it to our garden. We also have Baby Boomer. It has a high bud count, thus lots of blooms. SC Devil's Eye does seem to glow in the garden. The eye in Black Fathom Depths does, too. You are having lots more blooms than we are, and we are almost due east of you.
