Jimard,
I'v always had a hard time with salvia. But do not fret yet over the lyreleaf. I also have farao, blue sunday, pink monday and a couple of others that I am waiting on to germinate. The farao, blue sunday and pink monday are this years baker creek seed so if they are not coming on and lyreleaf is not coming on, it's ok. I'll wait another week or two for signs of germination. I did find it odd that the blue bedder I had chunked in a pail last year and honestly did not do worth a poop in my opinion, is coming back. As I said way earlier before the swap, it's odd if salvia does well for me here. I do have an area that is excellent for salvia. I really do not understand the deal with salvia and me, lol.
My pics of my house and where I intend to put things are in the post titled "Untitled" in here. When I posted, I forgot to add a subject and there is no way for me to edit it.
I do have a few pics of just the beds that have been tilled. Nothing in ground yet. End of March/beginning of April should see those changes. Then I only have a few of some germination of the ws'ing I've done.
We had rain on Wed evening and it was bad enough I still had standing water thursday in the yard. Pretty much makes me happy nothing is planted yet. We're supposed to have rain again on monday or tuesday. Too wet to finish enlarging my shade garden and my herb beds. I still have to move my roses and honeysuckle bush and a few hostas. I have hostas and coral bells coming up in my shade garden already. Since probably the second week of february.
If you look in the left pail, that little piece of green is the blue bedder salvia in the pail from last year. The larger pail is my coneflower from last year with NoID. it's already started leafing out this week as well as some veronica I had bought last year. Also, in that larger pail, I have no idea what is actually growing in it. It's right next to the coneflower and I don't know if it is some type of weed I've never seen or what. I left it in there because it started last year during the fall after the seed was collected. So I figured if it made it through winter, which it has, maybe when the coneflower came back I would know for sure. Well I don't. It's not a coneflower and it does not behave like gaillardia so Istill don't have a clue what it is yet.
My mother of pearl poppy emerging.
There is more coming on like my coneflowers, tomatoes, peppers, and so forth. Most is veggies. This week should bring on more. I did see that the bronzed beauty calendula and kablouna calendula are getting bigger. I am just getting more and more excited. Our corn hasn't come up yet. We direct sowed that last weekend. Anticipation is killing me, lol.
