Well hello Carolyn and Chris! Geez, I've finally woken up after that long, cold, snowy winter! It's nice to see the weather is finally coming around to being somewhat warm and the perennials are beginning to pop up! Spring is in the air!
Linda and Dormantsrule - Hi, I'm Cheryl... Another Heuchera/ella lover and have been growing (or trying to anyways) them for several years now. Sometimes I wonder if I've lost more than I've grown but I never give up, they are just so addictive, right?
Dormantsrule - Your pictures are just beautful and we always love seeing other's gardens. Such great color combinations in your garden. Sometimes I struggle with that...I've never been particularly artful so so I don't have quite the knack that so many others do. I just put them in and hope for the best! I really like the moss growing in between the steppers. Does moss spread readily after planting or do you have to put alot of it in? I've never tried growing it before but it seems to grow everywhere I DON'T want it!
I'm ticked off at the deer again this year. Two years in a row now they've chewed off every leaf on my Caramels in front. Do you think it would work if I put rose cones over them with the tops cut off? I'm just not sure how I could anchor them down - maybe just put rocks on the edges? I have to do something, it takes too long for them to recover and grow to a nice size.
Well ladies, I've got several plugs coming from Ella's.... from the sound of it, it looks like I'll need to set up the Nursery again and take care of some babies until they grow up a little - my first time with plugs...I wish I would've asked you all before buying them! Oh well, not alot of money invested so it won't hurt too much if they croak!
Happy Spring All
