I enjoy the info you present here and can't wait to take a look when <br />I get home. I'm surprised at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I'm not even using WIFI, just 3G <br />..

I've also had some VERY bad pruning moments. I have a big hole in a little willow, I hope it fills in this summer. <br /><br />miss m, no worries! Your projects sounds wonderful, pergolas are beautiful. Simplifying is always a good idea. Your neighbours & friends are very lucky. The natural look will be beautiful, I look forward to your blog updates.Rebecca @ In The Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513002032328432666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671006236976973866.post-30147455333110588412010-01-08T15:19:07.064-08:002010-01-08T15:19:07.064-08:00Late comment here, (sorry I missed this post !)
G...Late comment here, (sorry I missed this post !)<br /><br />Great list Rebecca ! I love those poppies !<br /> <br />Again this year, my efforts will mainly be going towards the vegetable patch. As far as the garden is concerned, there is a patio and pergola project in the works (budget permitting). If that happens, there will be lots of re-arranging to do and many plants will have to go. As much as it pains me (and it will !), I'd really like to simplify the planting and keep only the very favourites and/or happiest. (On the bright side, I will delight in sharing my discards with friends and neighbours). Ultimately, I'm aiming for a more natural look. New additions will include native flowers and grasses.<br /><br />Happy 2010 ! Here's to a great gardening season !miss mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779663826025791655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671006236976973866.post-79790101950967032392010-01-08T04:08:14.599-08:002010-01-08T04:08:14.599-08:00Rebecca I couldn't get that blogspot to work b...Rebecca I couldn't get that blogspot to work but after reading your plan for watering in a new plant .. my god girl ! you are way past me for being so good to your new plants in the garden ! I am flying by the seat of my pants most of the time .. and I do feel such remorse about M.LeM. I truly loved the beauty but tried a pruning technique that was never really meant for lilacs .. and if I get a spot that is perfect for her again .. well I would love to have those amazing white flowers.<br />You live in a harsher zone than I do and you are doing a fantastic job !! Have you done the Korean Maple ? .. I am so intrigued I am determined to hunt one down some where and that is what is going in the corner from the Mad.LM .. I hope it all works out;-)CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671006236976973866.post-22836813768882256642010-01-07T08:26:56.901-08:002010-01-07T08:26:56.901-08:00Hi Bangchik, it is becoming extensive quickly.

I found the frog in the garden centre at Canadian Tire, they still have a few items left. You have a great list too, and yes, visiting other blogs makes the list longer lol. Have fun with your new maple. :) <br /><br />Hi Liisa, Thanks so much for visiting my blog, another HBP fan I see. It does get extreme with all the additions, but who can help it? I look forward to the daffs too, I find bulbs stressful and have my fingers crossed anxiously that they are still ok and will emerge.

I have to replace that sad sad lilac that is such a disaster .. I love making a plant wish list and reading other gardener's lists .. although doing that makes my list longer ? because I love their choices too ??

It is very cold here and we have been under a blanket of snow for some time, we aren't likely to see any growth til ~April.<br /><br />Hi Frances, Thanks for visiting my blog. You are very lucky to be starting the year with one plant, although I'm sure more will be added before long. It's amazing how many plant ideas we get from other gardeners.Rebecca @ In The Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513002032328432666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671006236976973866.post-6754960613562188252010-01-05T04:00:49.239-08:002010-01-05T04:00:49.239-08:00Wonderful idea, Rebecca!

It has one plant, Haloragis erecta 'Wellington Bronze', just seen in Nan Ondra's three neat plant post at her blog, Hayefield. I seem to have lost last year's list, but that's okay. Starting anew is perfect. :-)<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671006236976973866.post-79451254981487022162010-01-05T01:26:53.270-08:002010-01-05T01:26:53.270-08:00Great idea, but my most important item in my wish ...Great idea, but my most important item in my wish list for a while is that I be able to grow my first veges!!!!

I have one hydrangea paniculata 'pink diamond' (rated zone 3), but it dies back to the snow line each winter. Summers it wants to flower, but we run out of good weather before it does.<br /><br />I agree with you and the others that meconopsis is a must. I tried to germinate a package of seeds last spring, but no luck. Not following the directions for germination didn't help any. We'll try again this spring. <br /><br />We're trying to overwinter two dwarf lilacs, 'bloomerang'. If successful, we'll order more. Like 'Josee' they're supposed to bloom all spring and summer long. We'll see.<br /><br />Happy New Year, Rebecca.Hank Moorlaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687135781283393472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671006236976973866.post-22965337431668600132010-01-04T06:56:45.531-08:002010-01-04T06:56:45.531-08:00Hi Ms S, Thanks for the info, definitely let me kn...Hi Ms S, Thanks for the info, definitely let me know how they do this year.<br /><br />Hi Deborah, I'm looking forward to your limelight update as well, It's a great idea to test a plant before going all out. I'm glad someone else will be trying meconopsis, I've heard they can be very disappointing, but I'm hoping they like the spot I've chosen for them.

Along the back of the property there is a run of 5 mature spruce. As well, we have a very small blue spruce my dad started from a spruce cone for our son. I want to create some privacy on the south facing side as well as match the height of the spruce, however I also want to have planting space underneath for shrubs and perennials as this is my sunny spot. <br /><br />It's a good thing gardening teaches us patience! :)Northern Beauty Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805215769692200647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671006236976973866.post-41975482341899623112010-01-02T17:49:32.339-08:002010-01-02T17:49:32.339-08:00Hi vrtlarica, a herb bed sounds lovely, and is som...Hi vrtlarica, a herb bed sounds lovely, and is something I might attempt one day. If you are buying vegetable seeds you should have a look at this site, I don't think they ship outside of the US (so I can't order either), but the packaging is just gorgeous. http://www.botanicalinterests.com/store/search_results_sample.php?select=20000<br /><br />Hi Anna, You're most welcome, I hope you don't mind that I stole your idea. I'm glad I found the outdoor frog, after buying the indoor frog kind (in my banner), I was hoping to find something similar outside. If you can't shop for plants, the next best thing is other gardening items.<br /><br />Hi sweetbay, What zone are you in? I'm in 4 and they are borderline hardy here, depending on location. 'sheldonii' is known to be quite hardy, so definitely worth a try.Rebecca @ In The Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513002032328432666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671006236976973866.post-89466471831566448242010-01-02T15:39:38.885-08:002010-01-02T15:39:38.885-08:00I make plant wish lists all winter too!
