Hi, Jim, just stopping by again to leave a little note and let you know I've given your blog the Honest Scrap award and hope to soon be learning ten new things about you. :)
Who needs words with a photo like that? I am going to try primroses (like that) again. I have one variety that has returned for two Springs, now. 'Primadiente Rose' Chinese Primrose looks very different, but is very sweet! :-)
I think all my primroses bit the dust over the winter. But that's no excuse...I never had a yellow one in the first place. That needs to be rectified this summer.
Glad to know I'm not the only hosta-obsessed nut! I h guess I'm in good company! Great photos. I have a deer problem also....so far so good this year except for a few nibbles.I envy you your ligularia, it is too hot for it here. Happy gardening!
I never touched a plant till Pat and I moved to Cleveland from Chicago. Our house came with trees and trees and more trees. it also came with overgrown landscaping that hadn't been tended to for 15 years. Pat's always been the gardener. I love hanging out with Pat and I know how to use a shovel. Along the way I discovered a love of gardening. But first, We had to take 12 trees down and 40 dead bushes out. Hosta, ligularia, and sedum are my favorite plants.
Our yard is clay. Clay, clay and more clay. Clay all the way to the center of the earth. The people at the conservation district told us that " we're at the wrong end of the glacier". I nodded the nod of the intimidated and have repeated it ever since. We are true belivers in sweet peet and work in 15 yards every spring. Our back yard faces north and is a good 6 feet lower than the house. Most of the back yard is moist year round. Except for the north east corner, the yard is under shade or partial shade. The front yard is mainly sunny. We are in zone 5b.
