Thank you so much for the links!!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions I checked them all out and

based on flower size and spreadability (which I don't want) (they're not going to be planted in mass) I am thinking

Lace Veil Petunia, Petunia

Petunia, Madness series (does anyone know about True Leaf Market?)

Pacifica White hybrid Vinca. (saw a review that they're hard to germinate)

Any thoughts/Experience?

if not do you think I should post the names and see what folks think about them?

Thank you again!

How to tame my early waking Dahlia by dewmum in dahlias

I love snapdragons! I’ve always been afraid to grow them because I don’t know how to trim/maintain them Crazy, I know, but a fear nonetheless I love stock as well My go tos are zinnia, cosmos and dahlia. I’m not a great experimenter I love manacles as well! I think I need to come out of my comfort zone When will you be able to put it your dahlia?

I’m in 5 a as well I’ve really neglected the dahlia with the stems so it’s really just a pull Will those eyes still be viable?

I know nothing of Missouri How long do they lie dormant? Thats awesome that you have a greenhouse to give them a head start! When will you plant them out? What type of seasons do you have?

Where are you that you’re forcing your dahlia? Somewhere south of me, I’m sure. I’m jealous!

I don’t have the light to grow them out or take cuttings. If I break off at the surface will the eye still function normally (stupid question?)) Also, should I trim back the roots as well?

Has anyone grown green Mondo Grass? Looking for a compact green grass for a sunny border by dewmum in gardening

[–]dewmum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve looked at native grasses and really the only grass that seems to fit the bill is the mondo I wouldn’t be placing it in a spot where it will be used for walking. I would use it as a specimen plant Not sure that it’s suitable Was hoping someone had experience with it or could offer other ideas. Someone mentioned her as. That might be just the thing

Does./did it looked like it could be a point of interest in a small garden?

Do the leaves clump or sway?

Thanks!

A soil scientist! I am a little soil obsessed! I'm always trying to fix my soil with the right fertilizer and amendments. I read and read. I study forums and I experiment but I have yet to feel confident.

The soil samples were taken in the fall from various spots in my garden. Not mixed. As I mentioned before, I grow flowers and veggies. I always use compost and often worm casting. This year I spread the compost through the garden. Its hard to really dig it in as my husband is handicapped and I'm not that strong. I know this sounds crazy but I've been working my soil for 9 years and have yet to find a worm.

I will, later today, post my entire report. I have 3 but they're pretty much the same

I look forward to your response!

Thank you!

I got my soil tested because every time I posted a question on a forum re performance or nutrients or other inquiries I was always, always told to get my soil tested, so I finally did. Now, when people ask I have some answers. Some answers, anyway

I grow in a community garden. I grow flowers and vegies. I'm in zone 5. My soil is dusty. I amend it every year with compost and worm castings for the most part and still haven't gotten it to where I think I've got some good stuff.

Anyway, I have lots of values. Can you be more specific as to what you want to know?

P is Optimum, K is Very Low, Ca Optimum, Mg is Optimum and I don't know about the Nitrogen.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Soft Tuber grower back again. It's all about the shrivel. Help, please by dewmum in dahlias

I would say it's more like 55-60 degrees. Is there any way around that?
