You and your daughter will have fun creating it. We used a 1/2 wine barrel, it's the perfect size and height I think. There's quite a bit of space in it too. We actually go the barrel at a winery and my husband cut in in half.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-35237531162041973562010-03-19T17:00:25.133-07:002010-03-19T17:00:25.133-07:00Hello,

I'm starting to fret over when/where to plant the breadseed poppies. Also, should I start them inside or plant them directly outside. I'll do a little search to see what's best for planting them in zone 4. Thanks again for sharing your seeds.<br /><br />donnadonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-57203280338240337772010-03-15T02:32:23.427-07:002010-03-15T02:32:23.427-07:00How beautiful it is really to be with kindhearted ...How beautiful it is really to be with kindhearted people of the earth. I always believe that if all the people are like us here in the plants world, maybe there will be no wars, anxiety, ill thoughts, etc. I also remember that Skeeter offers to send me seeds of the bottle gourd only waiting for the regulation in my country. How wonderful and generous people are. I also felt like giving some orchids to Autumn Belle and Steph but very difficult to send them. <br /><br />BTW from these photos i love the purple crocus with variegated leaves. If only it can be grown in very hot climes! thank you.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-14042965441631743092010-03-14T21:00:39.788-07:002010-03-14T21:00:39.788-07:00Hi Catherine

The bleeding hearts are phenomenal. They don't like it in this garden, but they loved it when I gardened at Heart's Ease in Cambria. Cooler and more friendly for them. <br /><br />I am journeying your way this month. Can't wait to see the gardens in the north. Doing a talk at the Columbia Center for the Arts and know I'll meet other passionate soil mates.

What a lovely and sweet surprise to find that fairy on your doorstep! I'm sure she will be happy in your daughter's well-tended garden. I think we might need to start one of those this summer. I have those fritillaria too, although I think they aren't blooming yet. They always come as "mixed" when I buy them and no way to tell if they'll be white or the checkered ones. I think when my first purple one bloomed I probably did a little dance. Maybe next year!Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-45239602958113924102010-03-12T21:59:53.192-08:002010-03-12T21:59:53.192-08:00How amazingly generous of Lona to give Sweet Pea h...How amazingly generous of Lona to give Sweet Pea her fairy. Lona, you ROCK! She looks terrific in your garden and will be a nice keepsake for your blogging friendship. Gardeners are really great people, that's for sure.<br /> <br />Now, let's talk about your blooms! The white fritillaria is SO pretty. I know what you mean about wanting the checkered one tho. I planted a whole package of those bulbs two falls ago and they never showed up. :-( <br />Every day I look for the first crocus but none here yet. Yours made my day (as well as your muscari). Is it warming up any or still cold?
