I had seen these small homes on Yahoo. They are neat! I would need a garage to for my overflow.

Pattie: You must have a lot blooming by now in 7a. Enjoy. How are your Koi? Watch out for Egrets.

PJ,

I did not prune my plants to the ground. To be sure, I do not know if I am suppose to cut back the Clemetis? I just let the brown leaves stay on the short trellis, and hope for the best. What am I suppose to do with them? Patricia

Hi PJ, Just wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Hope you are doing well. Hope to talk with you soon. Patricia

PJ, Outstanding! I am so happy, albeit trepedatious. I have never started Clematis seeds, you'll have to walk me through it. I do have a brand new, never been used AeroGarden Pro 100. I know that I can get inserts for germination to put into it. The machine turns on and off the grow lights automatically. It has fertilizer tablets, and is rather hydroponic. Have you used one of these before? I thought that it would be good to start seeds for the spring, but thought that I would start with the Herb Garden that came prepackaged with it, first. I want to thank you so much for the time you have put into finding and sending me these seeds. I do not know anything about 4 o'clocks, other than they are a vine, and open about 4 PM, is that right? And the Hardy Hybiscus, I can't wait...are they the ones that grow upright, with the dinner plate sized flowers (had two of those once, but lost them when I sold that house), or are these the low growning bush type? If they are the tall type, I will add them to the backyard garden behind the Cranes, and if low and bushy, those I will plant on the back fence line, which other than just the front of the house, is the only place that gets a lot of sun. I am very excited, thank you so much. I sure hope that your yard man didn't demolish your other Clematis. Poor thing, you know what it will be thinking about all winter, "what the heck happened to me?-:) Patricia
