So, whose going? I'm planning to go Friday night with my family. I'm still not sure yet if I will pay the extra money to go during the day too. Somehow I doubt...
These spring feeling afternoons are making some of my roses leaf out. Some never lost their leaves. The daffodils are still just barely peeking out. One...
HI Stepahnie, I will be going to the Maymont Flower Show, most like ly on Sunday am. I would have gone Sat. but my otherhalf is working a half day. I cant ...
Hi Stephanie, I'm probably going to split up my visit to fit everything in. I'm going to drag my boyfriend Thursday night to see the water gardening ...
Hi, Stephanie. My roses never lost all their leaves either and are starting to open new leaves. Daffs are coming up heavily as well as some tulips. The...
It's about this time of year that my crocuses start coming up if its been a mild winter (and it has!), so I need to go look around for them. The Farmer's...
Thanks for the offer, Paulette! It looks like I am going on Saturday with my in-laws and Friday night with my son & husband. I'm looking forward to it! I hope...
I forgot all about the crocuses I planted in 2004. I tilled the area where they are last year, so I want to see if they survived. The poor bulbs I bought last...
You're probably right, Sandra. I'm probably worrying for nothing. This is the first year I tried lime sulphur on the roses and I've heard that dormant strength...
Let's hope the weather pattern change coming soon remains wet. What the plants don't need right now is cold and dry. Also, are you using the almanac that...
Frankly, I was just repeating what my niece told me she had read in the Farmer's Almanac, so not sure which one she was using. The accuracy of it is...
I don't spray much of anything in the yard or garden. If the aphids get too bad to hand pick I'll use a homemade soapy water spray for them. I figure if it...
Hey Sandy, If you want some lady bugs to eat your aphids, come over to my house. Last fall and into the beginning of winter, they invaded our house trying to...

Hello! I'm new to the group and thought I'd give a quick intro. My husband and I bought our first house in Hanover County about a year and a half ago. I...
Jen I absolutely LOVE container gardening!!! This year I am going to try that chartreuse sweet potato vine that everyone seemed to have last summer. It looks...
Welcome to the group, Jen! I'm sure you'll have no problem filling up your containers as well as your shady bits with lots of great plants. Gardening is a...
I love chartreuse and dark purple together in the garden -- makes such an interesting contrast. My other favorite contrast is anything silvery with anything...
Welcome to the group, Jen! Glad to have you. Damp shade -- that's a true gardening blessing! Most of my shade is underneath trees which makes it very dry...
I grew Dark Knight in our pond many years ago. It had dark foliage and I think it had a red bloom. They seem to do as well in good garden soil as they do in...
I'm a bit late on this thread, but thought I'd reply. I started last spring with a couple of shade garden "kits" from a mailorder company. Some of it worked,...
I can think of some fantastic plants that would grow great in your wet shade. (I'm so envious!). Gunnera is one -- HUGE, dramatic, prehistoric-looking...
Howdy everyone! I appreciate your patience with all of our Yahoo group's reminders sent this past week for the Maymont Flower & Garden show. At least there...
I loved the Chesterfield Tech Center display, too. I believe it won "Best in Show" by the judges also!! There were definitely fewer vendors and I got off...

"Have you ever visited the library at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden? It is heaven for the garden book lover." tee heee, great minds think alike. I wish...
