Now maybe we can get serious about planting!<BR/><BR/>Cheryl, isn't that the way? you throw something away and it grows. Like all the little tree seedlings I have in my flower beds. I can pull, strip leaves and cut off at the ground and a lot of times, they come back. If you coddled a baby tree it would die! When the wisteria blooms I will share at least the pictures with you. Kiss that granddaughter, she's a doll!<BR/><BR/>Robin, are they temperamental? Well, even if they are, I think they are gorgeous.

I like you tried unsuccessfully for years. One day a friend brought some for me, when she left I thought they won't take so threw them on the compost heap. Yes you've guessed it they shot away. I carefully removed them and now have a lovely group.<BR/>Gardening is a strange thing.<BR/>I find with poppies the meaner you treat them the better they grow.<BR/>Love your little dove sitting on the nest, how sweet. And you have wisteria buds, so jealous after losing mine in the frost.<BR/>Love the laundry on the annuals, you make me laugh Beckie.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-60678502205118431972008-04-30T14:08:00.000-05:002008-04-30T14:08:00.000-05:00Lucky you to escape the frost.

Hopefully we are past that now. The poppies Cheryl, sent me are growing in their seed pots, but are still to small to put out. Am anxious to see if they bloom. Good luck with yours.<BR/><BR/>Nancy, yes, most everything looks good. Did lose several roses but have already started replacing them. Roses are a pain, but I do sooo enjoy them.<BR/><BR/>Rose, I think they are different varieties. Wouldn't we like to have some like we saw yesterday! I checked out the tree on line (isn't it amazing what you can find!) and think you are right. Kurt asked me about them. Will have to tell him to get busy as they are very invasive.

I don't know much about it other than it is an undesirable. We had those, too, and if you don't cut them soon, they are very hard to dig out. But you might want to check with someone else as well, in case I'm wrong.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-19437662168502989092008-04-30T02:49:00.000-05:002008-04-30T02:49:00.000-05:00Hi Beckie, I guess I can thank you for putting you...Hi Beckie, I guess I can thank you for putting your laundry over your plants since it kept the frost away. Ha..<BR/><BR/>I don't know what the twisted trees are. Too close to the foundation though. Unless it is a tree peony.<BR/><BR/>Love the poppies. I have "one" that T gave me last year. It seems to have taken. It doesn't have buds yet though. Here is hoping. I have also planted some seeds that Kylee sent to me. There is hope.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-1058473938576601282008-04-30T01:27:00.000-05:002008-04-30T01:27:00.000-05:00Beckie, what a delightful post and keen observatio...Beckie, what a delightful post and keen observations.Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.com
