Just a matter of someone's time to bring them into a sale worthy maturity! Good for you, being a cheapo!! It's gonna be gorgeous, I am sure of that!Sissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03714196104526604635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-12972027100790206982011-05-28T00:02:20.275-04:002011-05-28T00:02:20.275-04:00I'm sure your urns will be spectacular!

I had polish on for the wedding and needed polish remover, so saw the unusual colors and bought what I am calling 'gardener's green'. : )Diannehttp://www.diadsie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-2665146311123919462011-05-27T23:03:45.996-04:002011-05-27T23:03:45.996-04:00Hi Zoey,
I love your pots and combinations! That ...Hi Zoey,<br />I love your pots and combinations! That first coleus is cool! I don't think I've seen one like that. Now that our front yard has turned into a flower bed, I'm not planting as many pots. I did finally do some last night.<br /><br />I hope your bells of Ireland come up. I need to find some again. I had some in the herb garden, but decided I didn't want them there. The ones I moved died out after a year or two.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-76287640637536371912011-05-27T10:28:46.457-04:002011-05-27T10:28:46.457-04:00Zoey, I'm so far behind with everything, but I...Zoey, I'm so far behind with everything, but I just went back and read your last five or six postings. Wow, you've been busy! Your back is not a pretzel, I laughed at that. Mine either. There is so much to do I feel overwhelmed at times, but all we can do is one thing at a time.<br /><br />I love the bouquets you put together, you make the most amazing floral arrangements. And getting grass to grow where it should and not where it shouldn't (ajuga) is something I can't do either. <br /><br />The new urns are so cool! I'm amazed by how many you have. That's a lot of tending, too. Do you reuse your potting soil from year to year or do you just toss it on the compost pile and buy all new? I have seven big metal urns here and was contemplating refilling them with new soil, but holy cow, that's a lot of money, too. Lately, I just take all the soil out, throw in a few shovels of new stuff and mix it all together with some slow release fertilizer. And then I water my pots with a liquid fertilizer at least once a week because the stuff I use for potting soil has no nutrients. Ok, I've written a book here. I have to stop by more often.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-90742524952118798362011-05-27T09:14:24.501-04:002011-05-27T09:14:24.501-04:00I dub you "Queen of the Containers."I en...I dub you "Queen of the Containers."I enjoyed your containers last year and wondered how on earth you did it. You take such chances at combining colors, textures,sizes etc...and that's what makes a fabulous container.So many of "us" have no imagination when designing a pot. That's what it takes...imagination. Looking forward to seeing these grow into beauties...Have a nice weekend...and some good weather..BalishaBalishahttp://balisha-neverenoughtime.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
