A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum The Gardening Addition strikes again

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?

We're Hogs .........We want it all.....
Ha ha
You will love the purple shamrock bulbs ..i have those and about 3 other types.
Grow great for me .. One is hardy, called crasspi.. Pink blooms..

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>

Frost in N>C>

I can't resist a sale! I've run out of space to grow anything inside, but can't wait to get annuals for the yard :O)

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.

LOL!! My son's Pre-School class keeps their yoghurt cups for me. I use them for growing all kinds of things...

lucky you. I'll have to see who I can talk into saving cups for me.

You could try eating yogurt for your bones....
Ha ha only 35c where I get them.........I eat the inside first!!!!!!!!!!!

I couln't resist buying my purple shamrock, just before St.Patricks Day!!!! I had never seen one before! I didn't know they came in purple.It has been blooming and blooming ever since!!! The shamrock petals are so HUGE!! One shamrock is at least three inches from side to side!

Horray for shirley,

Least ways your shamrock (oxalis ) is a success..

I have the purple too.I had the name and lost it .. Will show you sometime
Wine something I think.
Now Ihave green leaf one with purple centers.
Green leaf with white flowers
Greel leaf with pink flowers.(hardy) call crasspi.

I love them.. I might get more..ha ha h

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.
