<span style="color: #3333FF">My hostas are coming up nicely, it seems like I see them in the morning, then when I see them in the afternoon they've grown more. I love 'em. Bigger and fuller every year without my having done a thing.

My lillies (I think that's what they are) are coming up nicely, too and multiplying nicely. They're just green right now, I can't wait for them to flower. I've got yellow ones and some red and white ones. They're going to be in bloom just as I'm ready to leave. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

I've got some other stuff coming up that I have no idea what it is. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img] I don't remember what I planted and won't be able to identify it when it blooms, either. I'll post pictures when it blooms and see if anyone else can identify it.</span>

<span style="color: #3333FF">Where are you regionally that you can grow a tropical garden? I'm hoping that once I move I'll have a longer growing season and be able to grow a better variety of plants. And when I say "I", I mean [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70377-loveeyes.gif[/img] because I sure can't grow anything. </span>

Re: How does your garden grow?

I'm in zone 6a...southwest Illinois. I grow any thing...the tropical plants I overwinter inside the house and in a small greenhouse. Any tropicals that I plant in the ground and are grown from tubers, corms and rhizomes I store these over the winter...this means digging up before first frost and storing. Most other tropicals I plant in pots and bring these indoors. Any other tropical variety that can be reseeded, I'll store the seeds and plant for the next year.

<span style="color: #3333FF">Oh, hell no. That's way too much work. If it can't survive on its own once I put it in the ground, it just wasn't meant to be. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

I don't want to tell you the number of things that just weren't meant to be. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70374-lipsrsealed.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70361-embarassed.gif[/img] </span>

Re: How does your garden grow?

wow SandiF you really love your garden

The bamboo is starting its annual shooting now.. Grows about 1 ft a day it seems and they are still staying within their rhizome barrier so its all good [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bannana_purple.gif[/img] The area is nice & thick now

The azaleas are blooming. This year MrKia planted callaloo from seeds, tomatoes, pumpkins and soy. The petunias are in full bloom

The dog has been helping in the garden too, as MrKia digs, so does the dog. Its so cute to watch them digging away in the garden together [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

Re: How does your garden grow?

Rain, rain and more rain. I can't even get out there. The sun *may* come out Monday....sigh. In the meantime, I will write this weekend about the plants and trees I bought this past week.
