Beth Strassman replied to Beth Strassman's discussion Growing Corkscrew Rush Without a Pond in the group Water Gardens"Thanks Robin, I did that kind of. Instead of buying something I put the rush in an old plastic cake container top from the grocery store. (I love to up-cycle.) I added pea gravel, dirt and mushroom compost and a lemon…"
Robin (N.IL zone 5) replied to Beth Strassman's discussion Growing Corkscrew Rush Without a Pond in the group Water Gardens"You could always make a small water feature with just a tub. I've seen people who added water gardens here and there just by picking up a heavy duty water bowl from the farm stores. Looked quite nice having water plants tucked in here and…"

Growing Corkscrew Rush Without a Pond
Just bought a Corkscrew Rush plant. Found out later it is a water plant and does not like full sun like the tag said. (UGGGGGGG I hate bad tagging!!!) Don't have a pond nor do I have room for a pond in my postage stamp-sized yard. Am turning to the experts on Garden Share... so what's the best way to take care of this little guy? Thanks in advance!!See More

Beth Strassman replied to Kathy Hayes's discussion Fennel. in the group Herbs"Yes, Rhonda is right about the Florence variety. A fun fennel is what I call black fennel.

Grant Meyer USDA zone 9 commented on Garden-Share's group Flower Gardens"Just for fun, here's a cosmos pic (C. sulphureus) and a Harrisia cactus, both blooming in the garden. Talk about a sweet-and-salty combination: a fluffy self sowing annual, and a durable low-water tropical cactus. Still, they…"
Grant Meyer USDA zone 9 commented on Garden-Share's group Arizona"Good morning everyone! Plenty to do in the garden today but I thought I'd just pop in and share these Harrisia blooms in the garden. This plant blooms off and on all summer long. It has four blooms this morning and…"
