The marigolds have taken off and are nearly two feet tall now with blossoms filling up most of my flower garden and obliterating the garden path. They look cheery and sunny and took nothing to grow. They are the Durango seed from Stokes. I see if saved seed makes them as big and beautiful. The amazing thing is that one plant can have yellow, orange and blossoms with red all on one plant. how do they do that?
Well, I believed that gfreen grassy stuff to be my daylilies, but it looks exactly like clumping grass. The thing is that the roots look like perrenial type of roots... but so far no flowers ...me thinks it is grass, but it is staying it neat clumps. I'll give it one more year and see what happens. If it fills the entire graden , then I guess I made a serious mistake. If it has neat little yellow daylillies, then I'll say hurrah! I dug them from the location where the short day lillies used to grow.
Roses are back in bloom and so are the amaranthus that Lynn planted for me. Aren't they incredible?
Faye and Randy came over for HAppy hour and appies today, then we ended up playing dice till everyone was bushed. It was a fun evening as Faye sure loves to laugh and joke around. The gals beat the guys 4 games to 2!

Bea you have to save me some of those seeds or order me some. They are goreous..
Hopefully you have lots of seeds from your loves lies bleeding for next year also. I think they are pretty special looking myself!!
Still no pictures on the side yet?
Hey Bea,.. the flowers are absolutely gorgeous. You know... I can't grow a marigold for the life of me. I buy them established and they just sit there, and yet Carrie next door grows them like you... surrounding her garden and they help to keep out the pesties. As for the long grass stuff you have there... sure looks like day lily to me. I had mine planted for three years and I finally got tons of orange and yellow flowers this year... I was about to dig them up as well. Be patient .... lol.
Thanks for all the comments about the marigolds. They are the best I have ever planted... and yes, some years they just don't even hardly grow. I guess it was their year!
