I have a few things in the garage that I have no idea WHERE to put! Wish you were closer - we passalong here all the time among blogging friends.<br /><br />GetGrounded -- I'm still trying to figure out where to put my pitcher sage. Deer may eat it...changes all my plans. Glad to know it gets leggy. That will help me with locating it.

It is still blooming, and those colors are absolutely stunning! I have it against my limestone mailbox, and the combo is fabulous. You will love yours. It gets leggy, so I think I'm going to combine it with Bamboo Muhly...unless you give me a better idea?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-83311560905708977592009-10-11T08:36:17.230-05:002009-10-11T08:36:17.230-05:00Well I missed the sale too, in a way.

I find if I don't have a list of plants meant to go in specific places I kind of lose my head (as in totally go nuts).<br /><br />I am thinking of starting a PlantersAnon 12 step group for folks who can't seem to buy only what they "need" for their gardens. Me: "Hello, my name is TexasDeb and I buy every plant I like"... Group: "Hello, TexasDeb".<br /><br />Thanks for giving me a peek in your wagon. Vicarious shopping will have to do this year.TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-24003397082147478242009-10-10T22:34:15.199-05:002009-10-10T22:34:15.199-05:00What a treat to be able to be a member of the LBJ ...What a treat to be able to be a member of the LBJ Wildflower Center.

The sale was fun. I saw a nice variety of unusual plants, which is what I was primarily looking for. And while it was busy, it wasn't as bad as it sometimes it. The weather might have scared a few people off.<br /><br />Gail -- You should have hopped on over -- you can always stay here! And it was nice to WANT hot chocolate because of the cool weather.<br /><br />MSS -- I was all about impulse, but I like to buy that way. I did at least try to think of a place I might put the things I bought before they went into my wagon. We'll see how that works when I try to plant them! Silver ponyfoot is my new favorite. I bought 2 a while back and love them.<br /><br />Meredith - well, I didn't see you either! I'll go look at your post and see.<br /><br />Lisa -- I don't know much about them -- I've seen them in gardens here and just planted my first ones a month or so ago, so the winter will be an experiment for me here as well.

I like to buy 4" pots too. they establish much faster than the bigger pots.<br />Horrible weather. I suddenly realize that I would rather have the heat than the cold. I just wish the heat would come with a little rain now and again. We had 2.7" I put all my plants out so they should be happy. However I am having a negative day with my garden- it looks messy and dreary! Come back sun.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.com
