I shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be allowed near garden centers without a chaperone.<\/p>\n
Went to WVU Greenhouse plant sale, and then went to Lowe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153just to get some mulch.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ha.<\/p>\n
My new plants include:
\nGerbera Daisy, orange (Gerbera jamesonii) for the porch to replace the one that died.
\nCalibrachoa (Million Bells) for a hanging planter. (I love these flowers.)<\/p>\n
Along the driveway in the sun:
\nLavender (Lavandula x intermedia) in the hopes these won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t die.
\nLemon Thyme (Thymus x citridorus) just because it smells so nice.
\nRussian Sage (Perovskia atriplocifolia) because the leaves were pretty.
\nDaylily (Hemerocallis \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWineberry Candy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122) can you have too many daylilies?
\nColeus (Solenostemon scutellarioides) because Michael wanted some.<\/p>\n
Along the driveway in the shade:
\nViola (Viola \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcJohnny Jump-Up\u00e2\u20ac\u2122) pink purple and orange flowers for the shade side of the driveway.
\nBaby\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Breath (Gypsophilia paniculata \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhite Festival\u00e2\u20ac\u2122) because it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shade tolerant.
\nAstilbe (Astilbe x arendsii \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcRheinland\u00e2\u20ac\u2122) because Kim suggested it as a good shade plant.
\nBellflower (Campanula carpatica \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhite Clips\u00e2\u20ac\u2122) because it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shade tolerant.<\/p>\n
Heliotrope (Heliotropium) along the front of the house where the Jasmine died.
\nVerbena (Verbena) for along the front of the house, just to add something else.
\nAnd another rose. A shrub rose. For no reason other than I put so many other plants back, I left this one in the cart.<\/p>\n
I did NOT buy a small Japanese Maple (because it was part sun), another lilac, a second astilbe, oregano, or rosemary, although all these were, at some point, in my cart. I think there were some other flowers that jumped in and out of the cart as well, but I can’t remember precisely what they were.<\/p>\n
Oh yeah, I ended up going back to get more mulch. We bought six bags of mulch all told. But we did have to put a good deal of mulch down along the front of the house, both to hide the soaker hose, and because it tends to be rather dry there.<\/p>\n
But all my new gardening gloves are very nice. I didn’t feel the constant need to run inside and wash my hands, which is a definite bonus. (In my defense, I have to say that I have developed allergies to latex, fragrance, random chemicals, so if I’m not careful, I end up with itchy blisters on my fingers. Which is no good.)<\/p>\n
The good news is that gardening is good exercise, so I can look at this as my alternative to a gym membership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
