I have the room for a door here, but not the creativity or the construction knowledge to put one in successfully:) The gardener's husband explained to me how they put the posts in dry concrete and then waited till months later to install the door. One of the reasons I enjoy garden walks--lots of great ideas to copy! It was a bad winter here, too, and so many plants were late this year, even in the nursery greenhouses. But I think they have all been making up for lost time the past few weeks. All that late snow is just a memory now as I complain about the sweltering heat:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-2351081506357624022018-06-20T08:14:30.119-05:002018-06-20T08:14:30.119-05:00Thanks, Beth!

I have the same feeling when I view some blogs from further south than me--I'm excited because I know it's only a matter of time before the daylilies and others bloom here, too.

I can't wait to see how it does. How lucky you are that 'Cheyenne Spirit' self-seeded! I don't have much luck with coneflower cultivars surviving here, but that is one I do enjoy.

Last year the garden at the nursing home where I volunteer was on the annual garden walk, and the Verbascum was the one plant that everyone noticed and wanted to know more about! It certainly is eye-catching.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-88406636494336197422018-06-20T07:32:14.017-05:002018-06-20T07:32:14.017-05:00Cheryl, I am lucky that the slugs don't bother...Cheryl, I am lucky that the slugs don't bother my hostas most years; I don't know why--perhaps because my shade garden can be pretty dry.

I wish I had the room to do that too !<br />So glad your tours went well .. the heat/humidity can really put people off of coming out for an event like this but bravo for those enthusiastic gardeners ! I would have loved to see those gardens as well.<br />Your begonia is so pretty , they look like roses ! ... I have a weakness for succulents too .. although I couldn't really find the ones I wanted this year .. seemed to be a bad year right from the get go with such a killer winter.<br />Your "blooming" way ahead of me .. funny thing ... I just had to get a few more Lady's mantle this year .. sometimes the oldies come back to you after years of contanstly trying out new plants .. you truly get a hang of how dependable they are .. lovely garden smiling at you Rose , well done girl !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-90872349860393050842018-06-18T20:55:21.647-05:002018-06-18T20:55:21.647-05:00Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

It's so interesting to see what's blooming for you because you are always just a little ahead of me. ;) For example, my Butterflyweed, Indian Pinks, Lilies, Coneflowers, and Evening Primrose are just on the edge of flowering. I swooned over that Begonia! It's so soft and graceful--it almost looks like a Rose or a Peony.

I, too, plant Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' every year if I can find it. I'm going to take cuttings this year just in case. I've also grown 'Ember's Wish' which is really pretty too. I get a kick out of the bumblebees stealing nectar from it. Your blooms are off to a great start. I also like those self-sowers. Thank goodness for them. I noticed that 'Cheyenne Spirit' echinaceas have self sowed here and there. Makes me smile.

Such a pretty annual. Prairie Sun Rudbeckia is one of my favorites too. The Evening Primrose is beautiful, but it does like to spread itself around. It's popped up all around my gardens this year and started crowding out some favorite plants, so I might have to start pulling it out.
