I need, I need, I need! When I lived up north, I yearned for plants which wouldn't grow or thrive. Now I live in the southern region and I miss my northern plants.

None of any of this makes me happy!

Oh good, Cheryl, I'm glad someone else is still afflicted!

We just returned from a trip to the North Coast (it was cold) On the way home, we just have to pass a fantastic nursery. Well, not exactly "pass" we have to take the bypass off 101 to McKinleyville, but we get gas there because it's cheaper .........well, you understand................. So we stop at Miller's and I always manage to find room in amongst all the camping gear for 2 one gallon pots. This time it was a Sulphur Flowered Buckwheat and a Tellima Both big, healthy plants. The. Buckwheat is full sun, and Tellima is shade. They are both CA natives; I seem to be addicted to them at the present! What fun! Emilie NorCal

Is it lovely.

Don't worry, I envy the agaves and other succulents you can grow

I have a few agave plants which multiply like rabits. I must have given away 15 plants this year...good size, too. The blue agave is beautiful and I also have a variegated smaller agave. I have no names because they were passed to me without a name. I also have tons of bulbine which I love, and just bought (like I need another grass) a few ornamentals, Stipa tenuisima and another one with Ruby in the name. The florets on this grass have beautiful jewel tone seed heads. Where will I plant them...

HEY CHERYL!!! Isn't SPS (Sticky pot syndrome) a wonderful malady? I'm seriously afflicted despite my total lack of funds...............LOL I'm counting change to purchase a couple of jalapeno plants for James and hope they don't cross with the yellow cow horn ones he chose as compromise.........but, but but, yesterday before I got to the veggie plants at the Lowes on the way to get the last cactus at Gloria's house (only the iguana's know for sure) I spotted an orchid primrose................................HAD TO HAVE IT!!!! it will be tucked into the pot where I've planted Autumn fern and Tassel ferns as company. NO SHADE HERE except for a small spot at the back corner that is tucked up on the southwest corner of the yard where we're renting. A young hackberry tree is sheltering my three containers of tree peonies at the moment, and I think I'll move them to the back fence now as the leaves are fully out on the tree. scoop patrol on the poopers (dawgs) is a new one for me, and I've rigged up a plastic pot and a milk jug for scooping and am putting the poop behind the compost bin and covering it with grass. no worries about contamination as this is a new compost pile and anything that composts will be used to fortify the flower beds anyway, nothing used for the edibles.

anyone know if I should lift the tomato plants out of the herb bed that runs west along side the driveway on the rented house and put them with the other tomato plants? I tucked them into the lemon verbena, near the Rosemary and amongst the oregano..............can't find my book on companion planting and wondered if they're pissed at the herbs........or maybe reluctlant to grow into fruit bearing tomato's since the oregano suggests sauce.............lol any idea? let me know here or at me yahoo addy.

gosh it's great to see V and the others!! I MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mar,

Well, as it has it, last year Cheryl sent me some 'Strawberry Candy' daylillies. I potted them up last fall and let them grow in the greenhouse during the winter to get some roots. One has your name on it. Remember a long time ago I wanted 'Strawberry Soda' daffs? I still never found them, but I discovered my new NEED NEED NEED! Daylillies.

EEm me your addy. I was waiting till it warmed up where you are to send it.
