Christine Gambacorta commented on Christine Gambacorta's group Hope Gardening CIG"I hope you have started your spring clean-up. Rake up the dead grass from the lawn and lay down the fertilizer. If you didn't trim your rose bushes back in the fall, make sure they are trimmed now allowing for spring growth. …"
Christine Gambacorta replied to Beth Anne Anderson's discussion Bulbs and Perennials in the group Hope Gardening CIG"Wow! You have a project ahead of you. What about all those critters who love to eat bulbs? Have you considered a "wild flower acre" instead? Asters, poppies, lupines, etc. seem to be magnificent and can give you…"
Christine Gambacorta replied to Beth Anne Anderson's discussion Deer Resistant Gardens in the group Hope Gardening CIG"Yes...it's called 'netting'. Those beautiful creatures seem to like any repellent and the only way I have heard to save your plants is to cast netting over and around them--esp in winter. Sorry!!!!"

Years ago I started "Open Garden Week" in Youngstown, NY. Those who were interested, opened their gardens for 1 week to folks to meander thru. We left maps of the open gardens in the local shops. Gardeners are so friendly and love nature. While @ work, I left a pitcher of lemonade and Vivaldi's 'Seasons' playing on my patio near the water & butterfly gardens.

I have nandina and vinca in my containers, too! What zone is Cary? I'm in zone 9, in addition we have micros and a Mediterranean climate here in SF! I'm so grateful for my bit of roof and the plants that have learned to live there in their pots!

Unknown tropical plant
"Interesting, may be a relative, since it has never bloomed. The leaf in the pic is nearly 20" long on nearly a 3 foot stem."
