Myrtle is lovely. I have really taken to the laciniated dahlias in the past few years, and also the cactus. Oh and the collerettes. Hilarious! Well, what is not to love? My orders should be arriving soon. Hope D gets my plywood today or tomorrow as I have no place to put them.

Dan, how long do you think it is for the tubers to sprout, or rather those that have eyes to plump up and emerge from the soil. Pretty ridiculous that I don't know the answer to that after all these years but I guess I never wrote it down and I know it will vary depending on the tuber. The tops of the pots are getting dry although I know that down an inch or so it is still moist. Wondering if perhaps a quick pass over the tops with the fine nozzle watering can just to keep them moist is advisable. Some of the seeds I saved from my own perennial flowers like goats beard, campanula, agastache are germinating. It would be nice to be able to fill in some of the spots with my own plants and not have to buy any. Since they are my own seed I know the plants are survivors here.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
