Today it was puple shamrock bulbs. I just couldn't resist again! They were a present and today the empty pot, unused potting soil and bulbs just got to be to much for me.

What couldn't you resist planting, or buying, or getting a cutting for?

Ive been eager too. I live in NC and we will be having several nights of frost. I have covered up my plants, but now I hear there will be rain. Should I uncover the plants? I wonder about tolerating the weight of sheets heavy with rain. Angela H.

I dont think the rain and sheet will harm them.. It is better than loosing them to frost in case>

I've got a bunch of seedlings that I'm growing for friends and I can't wait to send them off so I can start more. I go absolutely crazy this time of year lol.

And of course I ask all my friends to return the yogurt cups after they plant the seedlings lol.

I have the green leaf with purple centers and pink flowers. I can't believe it's trying to bloom already. But one of the stocks came up with a flower rather than a coverleaf.

I had hoped they were the purple but no such luck. Maybe I can trade with someone when they go dormant.
