THEY DO??? But they haven't bothered mine up to this point. Maybe the chives scared them off.

I can't keep up with my flower beds. Those daylilies were getting overtaken by the grass anyway. Now we can mow the grass down without crying about the daylilies. Gardening is becoming painful for me. I'm going to be doing more container gardening so I don't have to weed. http://img.photobucket.com/...

Ha! Ha! I planted four Better Boy tomato plants back there with the Better Belle green pepper. That's my veggie garden along with a row of chives. I can't grow cukes or squash because the deer always eat the blossoms.

I gave away all my Ruby Stella and Lavender Blush daylilies today. My daughter dug them up for me. She'll keep the Lavender Blush and give the others to friends. I'm downsizing and putting grass in the bare spots. I almost gave away my dwarf dogwood, but chickened out.

If they always get brown in the middle, I think I made a huge mistake buying so many of them.

That's beautiful! Will you grow clematis on it? Or use it for potted plants?

of a different color to grow on top of the one you have in the basket now?

Do you mean another color of Million Bells in the center of that pot and still try to put three around it?

Very, very beautiful!

Are the leaves completely purple on the underside?

Thank you for the great advice, Glo. I did buy new plants to put in that pot.

My hanging basket already looks nasty. I'm starting over. Do I water only when it has gone completely dry and should I water until it drips from the bottom?

Very unique combinations! I love to grow parsley in pots, too, mostly to watch the Black Swallowtail
caterpillars that crawl on them. They are so pretty! I'll have to take a photo this year.

Wow! How wonderful to have had a rose for so long. I never lived in one place that long! Our oldest daughter just bought a Peace rose. I've admired them for years.

Thanks a trillion! I appreciate all the help I can get.

Should I buy those styrofoam cones? If not, how do you get the leaves to stay around them? And do you prune climbers so you can cover them?

Well, I'm a rose killer, so I'm going to need advice.

I think 'Ebb Tide' is dead. I bought 'Mr. Lincoln' now that I finally found it.

Very nice! I did a little gardening today and I'm really done in. My arthritis is giving me plenty of pain.

Is that bridal crown?

I bought a flat of this this evening and want to plant it along one edge of our patio. Is there any way to keep the grass out?
