I had a post all written out, and got a phone call and got signed out...........sooooooooo drats it...it is off in cyber space floating around...
anyhooooooooo I am wondering what everyone is doing in their gardens this week?? my veggie garden is growing the corn is growing and so is the okra and zukes...
the flower beds got some new babies in them...I got a lovely new hibiscus plant it has multi colored blooms on it...really pretty..NOW please dont take this is gospel, because it was just something told to me..but I was told if a hibiscus has dull leaves instead of shiny leaves you can winter them in zone 7, the tag on my new one said down to 30 degrees, so we shall mulch deeply and also watch the weather and cover up the sweet baby...hehehe I also got 3 new hostas..I like hostas, they are pretty..I dont care for their flowers but the leaves are gorgeous.. these are verigated leaves and just lovely I got two smaller ones just alike and a larger leafed one that is also a larger plant..
Last week I transplanted some of my herbs to a long planter that I can bring inside during the winter...next spring I will have a herb bed too..excited about that...my yard is getting too small for all my plans...LOL

Thats what I was told too about the hibiscus. Mine have the lighter, non-shiny leaves. They died back to the ground and I trimmed that up. Then in the spring when it got good and warm they came up. I had to be real patient though, since they really like the warmth. |

my garden, except for the tomatoes, is shriveled up dead from all that heat. I was hoping to get the dead stuff pulled out of the buckets before tomorrow, but I doubt I'll have a chance. We leave for a long weekend vacation Thursday, so I'm betting the tomatoes will be dead when we get back too. I'm planning to plant two different varieties of peas when we return. |
