Darlene Shemanski commented on Garden-Share's group Michigan"OK you guys...It isn't unusual that all the gardeners went dormant in the winter, but, the sun is shinning and my friend is planning her veggie garden plan, seed catalogs are coming in the mail...there is still snow on the ground, but our…"
Darlene Shemanski commented on Garden-Share's group Michigan"Leaves, leaves, go away!!! Has anyone been successful in turning leaves into black dirt? A few years ago there was a gardening program on TV that said if you put your leaves in a plastic bag with a shovel full of top soil and a scoop of…"

Pat Sperry z5 MI left a comment for Darlene Shemanski"I hated to dig those plants out but they were taking over my corn flower, and phlox.

- I hated to dig those plants out but they were taking over my corn flower, and phlox. I would have loved to save them but none of my buddies wanted it in their garden. I dug out the tickseed coreopsis too. But I did move that to a place I can contain it. I was down in your area last weekend. Went to the Plymouth farmer's market. Plants sales were fantastic. Looked like some good vendors. I am enjoying your slide show as I am typing this. Very beautiful garden and unique garden decor. I agree about friends, we never critique the other's garden. We just share whatever we can. It is all so beautiful.

- I read your responses and love them. I garden by trial and error also. I believe if it doesn't grow it wasn't meant to be there. I want the plants to be hardy but because the enviroment in Michigan works for them. I water and take care of them but if they start looking bad and they're in the correct lighting then I chuck em. I don't know what a cardinal plant is. Can you direct me to a pic?

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."
