OK, I'll play...

Here are our glorious sweet peas - wish you could all experience their exotic aroma! Nothing like all the things Aafke has, since we only succeeded at potatoes and onions this year. Beans a total flop. But I can pick sweet peas every few days! I am going for the potager look next year... assuming My Digger gets out there and - uh - digs! We have an endless supply of good ole farmyard muck around here, plus our own compost. So all we need now is some cooperative weather... totally absent in the Summer of 2011.

Slainte!

OH Donna I LOVE the roses!  As big as they are probably good thing you DON'T feed them!  I wish I could talk hubby into letting me have some but they can be a chore to care for some times.  I have a little scrub rose bush that is taking off and really doing great this year.

Carol in WV, I don't do anything with mine over the winter except to cut them all the way down.  I also leave a couple seed balls to dump around the main stem, just to make sure I have more next year.  I wish there was a way to send some seeds out to all you gardeners!

I guess it is some OC coming out in me to count them!  Just can't help it sometimes!  LOL!

I was totally confused as well  ...http://10000birds.com/the-moonflower-ipomoea-alba.htm
I used to plant these, and wondered why my neighbor had perennial bush ones  ???
The Annual vine ones attract the Hummingbird Moth, a most interesting creature...

MAK, I will ask my sister re seeds for the Moon Flowers... they should be at that stage now. She is north of the city, so who knows re the soil, but you could try. I think hers is quite sandy. Anyone else?? I think once they get going, the GO!

And MAK - remember to add your own to the collection of floral garden pix!

Ok Bobbie here are the ones I could find. I can't seem to locate the nice ones of the Purple Coneflowers or the Black-eyed Susans. I will keep looking!
