New kids on the block

I believe I said, a while back, that I wasn’t going to buy anything more for the garden this year. I already have a pile of perrenials I need to find home for, AND of course, all the seeds I’m planting.

But you knew I wasn’t really going to keep my word, didn’t you?

In my defence, it’s just a small box. AND, I only ordered because they had a coneflower colour I REALLY wanted (Sunseekers Salmon). It was sold out everywhere else so I jumped at the chance.

I did want to try growing potatoes this year, so I bought a bag of seed potatoes. And then I was reading that shallots are sweeter and milder than most onions… and Dave likes’ sweet onions… so I thought why not try some of them.

Then I saw a few other things…

Top left – a pretty red False Sunflower called Luna Rojas (Red Moon?). I have several yellow ones, and I’d love to have a red one

Top middle – Atlantis Sedum. I’ve bought this before, but haven’t been able to get it to grow. This is my last try

Top Right – A gorgeous daylily called Vintage Ruffles because just look at it!!! Stunning!

And bottom – two beautiful irises called Wine & Roses, and Hissy Fit.

Oh… and that coneflower that started it all? They cancelled it and refunded just before the whole box shipped… apparently they were actually out of stock after all! Sigh…

  1. Buying plants is addicting. I’d forgotten how much so. This morning I came out and there were little nibbles on all my pansies and petunia blossoms. Rabbits. I saw a big one out there the other morning. It’s always something.
