So, here in Northern Il. we are now under a freeze warning. I hope the plants that are sprouting will do well between now and the 6th, since I don't have enough of anything to cover any plants.

Between three of the ladies, I should say.

There's always something to learn.  That's one of the things I love about my work ... between the ladies I garden for, there's over 200 years of gardening experience to learn from.

I hope so, it has such a pretty flower on it. I've only been tinkering in the garden for 11 yrs so there is soooo much out there that I need to learn.

If you get Foxglove established, it should self-seed, and through that you will get continuous blooms.

last year we bought foxglove to plant in the yard, reading up on it it is a biennial plant. So My thought is that this year it won't bloom.

I was thinking of buying another one this year and putting it next to the one from last year so that they bloom in alternate years, but I could totally wrong with this thinking.

Anyone out there that can educate me on these beautiful plants?

Thanks Garden Girl, I thought that might be the issue glad to have you confirm my theory.

Motorcycles even starting to come out. Northern Alberta still in the snow though. But the snow we had down my way heading South there was a Prairie grass fire already 20km/10 miles I think from where I live. Going through books into be office/library some in the  box to library and The Post bookstore. Mainly moms and some of mine, that is what I am doing tonight Jan. The old books of my father's and before stay.

Wow Nancy, you must be allot warmer then we are as here we still have snow banks.  I think we'll even have another big storm or two....

Waiting for my daffodils planted last Fall to come up. Already to plant what flower seeds I have. If no veggies come up in the newer garden I just turned today then I am going to plant flowers for the table and fragrance.
