Dang Bear, that is too bad. I would like to put a little greenhouse on the side of our house, but it isn't in the budget. My kitchen and deck are filling up with all kinds of things.

I put up my feeders today, I checked on the hummer migration site and they have been spotted in PA and I don't want to miss them. They are so fun to have around and the kitties get great enjoyment from them too.

I am in south central PA and our last frost date is about April 30, so I am guessing yours is mid May. Climates are changing, when I lived here ten years ago our last frost date was May 15. Let me do a little google and see what they are saying your last frost date is. Hmm, now how can it be...

By the looks of it they are toooooooooooo wet. Just my opinion, but too much water leaches the nutrients right out of the soil. Let them dry out and see what happens.

I am taking hubby to Longwood Gardens for 2 days this month, I am so excited. I hope that you have ventured there. I lived in that area when my boys were 3 and 5 and got a yearly pass, kids were free. We went 3 times a week. I loved it each and every time. I can't wait to go! That was...

From all of the negative feedback that I am getting I may just go with a White Fringe Tree or a Kousa dogwood. I am very torn up having downsized in yard from an acre to 1/3rd acre. I told my hubby in 5 years I want to sell this house and get a tiny house on 3 acres. Hmm, he didn't agree.

Can you post a picture of what is happening?

It is hard to say without actually seeing your setup what is going on, but it is better to water first thing in the morning and then let they dry out the rest of the day. I would try to keep your temp. closer to 70 degrees. 78 is really warm unless you are germinating, and then it is still...

I am still perplexed on this one Kya, that is why I haven't offered an opinion. I don't think that it is russian sage because the leaves are too furry. Maybe a more mature leaf will give us the answer. My mind is saying Pulsatilla, but I am not even sure that is right.

I would guess too much water Mike. Let them dry out in between waterings. Too much water will cause that Chlorosis (yellowing) that you are seeing in the leaves. Plants are better off too dry than too wet.

I still think that I want to take it on!! I do love them as vines in the right area, my first job that I ever had (when I was 15, holy cow, that was a lot of years ago), was gardening for a retired couple. They had a wisteria vine that was soooooooo awesome, but it was huge and one of my tasks...

Yup, I KNOW Ron, but I have seen it trained into a tree, I understand that it will need major maintainance.

What I have in mind is shorter than that, and definitely better groomed. I do think that they are lovely when they are well maintained.

Has anyone ever trained a wisteria into a tree form? I started one in Ontario about 7 years ago, but never had a chance to enjoy it at maturity. We went out garden center shopping yesterday and I saw some beauties that were probably ten years old and all ready to pop open. I have seen very...

Daylilies do great in part shade and the stellas do well even in full shade.

They need to be pollinated year after year to have fruit. Every year when they are flowering they need to be pollinated. Is there a nursery nearby where you could buy another plant that is in flower now?

Lowes has the one gallon for a good price if I remember correctly, no way did I pay 20 bucks for a one gallon, I am way too cheap for that!

The Golden Chains should be hardy in your area. I had one at a house here in Southern PA about 10 years ago. We are a zone 6 here. There was also one at a neighbors house in Ontario, so I think that you are good to go Spider.
They are very cool trees, I love their green bark. I am a bark...

I got my Royal Star that we had in Goderich at the Royal Botanical Gardens Ron. That was right in the same neck of the woods as you used to be in right?

Back to Knockouts....Mine are looking INCREDIBLE this year. I planted 1 gallon pots 2 years ago and now they are full and gorgeous and about 3' around and 3' high. I saw a mature one at a friends house the other week and I would say that it was at least 5 ' around. Amazing things!
