Update on the Patriot blooms:
6/17/16 / whole plant
Scapes on the gladiolus atom: Scapes is the right word, isn't it? I'm having a terrible time getting used to that term.
The front yard is filling in, still a lot of foilage, but the blue pots have white stuff and chinese-forget-me-nots in them (I think - they're all annuals, anyway). Gotta click it.
Just received my Regal Pelargoniums yesterday and got them into 1 gal. pots. I have their eventual containers, but that's too much work until I see how they do. I refuse to call them, or allow anyone to call them g.....ms. I kill those g plants every time I have them. I do believe that "easy to grow" is the kiss of death in my garden. So its pelargoniums for me.
