Surprisingly, we had a few nights near freezing last week as well...just around the time of the Hardy Plant Sale...I was certainly keeping my eye on the temps.<br /><br />Cherry Lane: OMG...mine too...I dug out a ton last year, but somehow, there must have been some EVEN DEEPER, because they are coming up in the areas I excavated...sheesh!<br /><br />MulchMaid: Evergreen indeed...I'm planning on getting more and more and interplanting them around larger perennials as a sort of living mulch. Centranthus is one of those things that you can definitely have too much of...but I still love having a few here and there...they are so carefree and the color is so rich and saturated.<br /><br />Danger: Definitely...and I'm the LAST person who ever complains about rain (yeah, I'm kinda weird...love the rain). This spring, however, I'm kinda sick of it...especially seeing all my plants sitting on the walkway, waiting to be planted.<br /><br />Allanbecker: OMG...you're so right...I keep forgetting how good we have it here!<br /><br />Alison: Hahahaha...totally...it's like free Tulips for me ;-)<br /><br />Compost: Although not so fun for the gardeners at times....the plants are really loving the moisture...now that they are up, most things are growing like weeds!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-5452648059704352962011-04-17T19:26:57.093-07:002011-04-17T19:26:57.093-07:00Everything is so lush and green.

Everyones Euphorbia seem to be a week or two ahead of mine.

I like the look of that Geranium macrorrhizum - evergreen, you say? That's one for me to look up. We took out a huge bed of Centranthus ruber when we moved here 4 years ago. Now I wish we had a little of it back for some mid-summer color. I hear we'll get some dryness over the next week. I devoutly hope so. Go forth and plant!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-60689406765400077292011-04-16T10:16:50.684-07:002011-04-16T10:16:50.684-07:00Look at all your wet plants!

Probably not or I'd have seen it around here.<br /><br />My house came with Spanish Bluebells also, and I agree about the foliage. Mine are planted so deep, and so close to other things, that I have little success digging them out.Cherry Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037410814286071364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-55031572561056857022011-04-16T10:02:37.839-07:002011-04-16T10:02:37.839-07:00Haven't seen any of you posts lately.

We just got blasted with 35 degrees last night and has but somewhat of a damper on thing. High spring is just around the corner, you could send some of that rain here by the way. Your plants look a little depressed but will shine soon.greggohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490422976382424491noreply@blogger.com
