Our 'Greeneyes' has been FOUND, but she is STILL having computer issues, so I have been asked to keep the Weekly Garden Thread rolling until she returns.
That said, I will be posting once a week, and I will TRY to stick to her schedule of a Friday Night/Saturday Morning Weekly Post.
The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you.
This thread is non-political, although you will find that most here are conservative folks. No matter what, you won’t be flamed and the only dumb question is the one that isn’t asked.
It is impossible to hijack the Weekly Gardening Thread. Planting, Harvest to Table Recipes, Preserving, Good Living - there is no telling where it will go and... that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us!
NOTE: This is a once a week ping list. We do post to the thread during the week. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest to Gardeners are welcomed any time!
THANKS Ellendra. Yes it is oriental lilies that I am going to be looking for. 3 would do it and I have 2 big clumps of daylilies to give away. I like to always have something blooming in the flower garden and lilies come right after the irises are done. It’s not a very big flower garden and the daylilies take up a LOT of space for the bloom factor.
I’ll put a PS on my last post. I found an article describing the difference between Asiatic and Oriental and I was wrong, I have the Asiatic doing well. So I’ll be shopping for that. And I found a home for my 2 daylily clumps. Thanks for mentioning Asiatic!
