I know you'll have a blast!<br /><br />Great selection of plants! Be careful to deadhead the chives - they reseed like crazy. I just got one of those spirea's last year - very nice. I wouldn't worry too much about the gaillardia - they're very strong.SueLovesCherrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447602107520583304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157754340221650294.post-63679404285185597382010-05-03T07:52:20.688-05:002010-05-03T07:52:20.688-05:00Hi Michael.

Last week we got free plants from someone who advertised on craigslist that he wanted to thin things out -- celandine poppies, which are a shade loving plant, and some maroon day lilies, chives, and lemon balm. I then shared it all with my across-the-street neighbor, who gave me a start of lilac. Sharing plants is such fun. <br /><br />I hope you can save your wall, but if not, you can use the stone somewhere else in your landscaping, and still plant flowers along the front. Looks like you have marigolds and red salvia in there in the photo -- those are nice bright colors against the stone. <br /><br />What is the feature to the left of your front door -- is it a decorative wooden screen or something, or just a plain wall?JKayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05508777675700980389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157754340221650294.post-73895228738167062422010-05-03T07:27:39.263-05:002010-05-03T07:27:39.263-05:00Funny, I'm having a similar issue with my fron...Funny, I'm having a similar issue with my front planter. On the far corner a couple sections of the red brick have literally fallen over. =(<br /><br />For a while I just propped them back against the planter and had an asparagus fern cover the damage, but the fern was trimmed so now the bricks have fallen over again. =(<br /><br />By the way, there are a few Plant Conservatories and Botanical gardens around here. I got to know the folks at one major University garden and when they trimmed certain plants they let me have the rare native clippings for free. A little rooting hormone and wha-la!<br /><br />So that's something to consider. ;) Get to know your local garden folks.1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157754340221650294.post-32088701915638532752010-05-03T06:52:43.067-05:002010-05-03T06:52:43.067-05:00That's too bad about your planter box, but are...That's too bad about your planter box, but are you sure you can't save it? You seem to be so resourceful! I'll bet one of your readers will have a good suggestion (of course mine would be, let my husband fix it). I was afraid you were going to use up all your motel money on the plants but nine bucks for the whole deal is great! So glad to hear you're going to Mick's--will see you there.Vintage Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442933020568560373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157754340221650294.post-51726921369618663472010-05-03T06:32:21.859-05:002010-05-03T06:32:21.859-05:00I'm so glad you made enough money to pay for y...I'm so glad you made enough money to pay for your motel!<br /><br />I love getting start off plants. It make me feel like I'm part of the circle of life.<br /><br />I received the book Friday, it's gorgeous! Thank you ;)<br /><br />I hope you will write a post about your garage sale.Vonlipihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11322330751381715095noreply@blogger.com
