The lilies are mostly done. And the hibiscus that survived the winter is wonderful. But the only two that did survive were white. So I bought a magenta one today and got it planted.

Still no ripe orange tomatoes.

Re: Orange tomatoes. Have you tried the variety, ‘Chef’s Choice Orange F1?’ It’s an AAS Winner I will NEVER be without!

Man, it’s AWESOME! I grow in Zone 4 and it has performed wonderfully for me for the past three seasons; weather be d@mned.

My front flower bed has gone to ruin. Hubby thought it would be great to put some wild petunias in there. The flowers are pretty, but the plant is ugly, and has crowded out almost everything else.

I don’t like anything too tall there, and had some hyacinths for spring, several miniature rose bushes for the rest of the season and violas for edging. All with yellow, purple, and white theme.

So I’m wanting to plant somethings that are edible, pretty flowers, and smell good. Lots of research to do this winter for that.
