I see everything continues to be lush, out there in "Shady Country!"<br /><br />We're finally getting some significant rainfall, but mostly cool, cloudy, drizzly weather... the whole month, so far! I saw the sun on Tuesday, when it warmed up to 64º. One can only imagine what fungus problems await us, in the no-too-distant future. /DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-59379591509370554582009-06-16T14:37:20.008-05:002009-06-16T14:37:20.008-05:00Hi Carolyn!

There are so many varieties. I'm usually a person that likes to know the names of plants, but those sedum... I've lost a lot of tags on those little ones. ;-)<br /><br />Rosey, Don't be envious. Just visit often! :-)<br /><br />Gail, Hi! Oh, good. You'll love the allium. Is there not a place you could place astilbe?? And could you not find a place (around a secret corner??) for a hosta or two?? ;-) I'm not breathing a word, though! ha!Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-33497138422467985482009-06-15T20:57:26.584-05:002009-06-15T20:57:26.584-05:00Shady, Good evening!

I'll find a better photo for you. :-)<br /><br />Hi Monica, There's just too much to mention in that Sunny Corner Bed. ;-) I love Russian Sage, too!<br /><br />Kathleen,I may not know what that sedum is... I have purchased, and inherited, quite a number of varieties of the low-growing types. But, if I can just locate my little book of maps (!), I'll see if I have it listed. :-)<br /><br />Hi Catherine! I'm not sure I can say that Allium repel moles... I Know they don't repel those pesky little striped gophers! ha?<br /><br />Lisa, I cannot take credit for it. I believe it's a product of the wonderful rainfall we had last year and the cool, rainy Spring we've enjoyed this year. Age has a lot to do with the fullness of plants, too, though.<br /><br />MMD, I'm still trying to figure a way to head to Chicago to visit you sometime this Summer... perhaps I could dig up a portion for you? Our plants do get a good dose of moisture, as we're on the downside of a fairly steep incline. The beds collect and hold moisture (there's a lot of clay there, too!). I could bring you a load of clay!! ;-)Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-22987494306360467642009-06-15T11:30:48.837-05:002009-06-15T11:30:48.837-05:00I love Allium cerulium and grew it in my old garde...I love Allium cerulium and grew it in my old garden.

Deer will eat the blooms, so I backed off of them for several years, but now I'm trying a few inside the cottage garden fence.<br /><br />CameronF Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.com
