Spooky Garden Ideas?
posted by: pumpkinvinecreek on 04.25.2005 at 11:37 pm in Moon Garden Forum This isn't technically about moon gardens, but it's the closest forum I could find. I want to create a "spooky garden", with plants that have Halloween related names. My ideas so far are Bat Face (Cuphea) and a hosta named "Ghost". Any other creative ideas out there?
NOTES: check suggestions in this post for addam's family garden

RE: What Plants to Use For Moon Garden? (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: AuntieCelene on 07.07.2003 at 06:05 pm in Moon Garden Forum Well, I see no one else is jumping in on this for you, but you'll want to choose plants that are silver or white, and some folks include black and blue as well. Some include those with moon associations, like moonflower or willow, and many include night-blooming/fragrant plants as well.
Good choices: HTH, Celene

RE: What are you sowing now for fall plant out? (Follow-Up #4)
posted by: aliska12000 on 05.21.2009 at 12:54 am in Winter Sowing Forum Had the blues all winter and was into other things. So I'm getting a late start and just don't have time to post much in this forum but I lurk sometimes. I'm going to plant most of the seeds I've accumulated, but some of them have to be direct sowed in fall, early spring, or need some kind of special handling.
Have 17 gal milk jugs ready w/vent holes in top 'cuz it's getting warm, also some 1/2 gals if I run out: Siberian Wallflower (leftovers), Adenophora Bulleyana (failed last year), Agastache Cana, Bluebeard Delphinium, Canterbury Bells, Digitalis Floribunda, Digitalis parviflora (ugly brown), Digitalis Primrose Carousel, Snowflake Baby's Breath (may sow direct and cover with open 2 liter bottle), Verbena bonariensis (not my zone, don't know what I'll do with it if it germinates), Painted Daisy, Verbascum Snow Maiden, Verbena Pink Spires, Russian Sage, Blue Dreams Catmint, White Swan Echinacea, Burgundy Gaillardia, Crazy Daisy, dill, curled parsley, cilantro, basil, chives. Some Lupin has to be direct sowed, and a couple others if I get to it. Morning Glories, may do sometime. Odds 'n ends I probably won't plant this year or ever, wildflower mixes, freebies, etc. All the perennials I got out of last year WS that are back are some catmint, 2 Rudbeckia Prairie Sun, nice mound of Crazy Daisy, one white foxglove and one puny one. One smallish Foxglove Candy Mountain came back from self sowing, those were nice, should buy some more seeds. These I bought says packed for 2007 and were kind of expensive, don't want to mess with them. Lemon Clematis (buchananiana), 20 seeds; Clematis Integrifolia (doesn't say what color) 20 seeds; European White Birch, Betula Pendula Northern (tried those and failed just a few left)in pkt, says they need cold treatment. First person who wants them I'll mail in the US (pls check if they are allowed in your state). I don't want anything in trade, have my hands full. I also have two older pkts of those Monet poppies that have to be direct sowed, have no place for them so those are up for grabs, don't want to put up a trade list right now. Finally I'm sowing collected marigold seeds now directly into planters but have way too many seeds, some from prior years, am using some I collected this spring right now. I'll try to find a photo. The prettiest photo they were too crowded with other stuff, this one is pretty much how they bloom every year. They start out not looking like much, then pick up and bloom true by July or so. If planted singly and are happy, they will form a huge mound. I crowd my stuff too much and Darwin's law takes over. Also lobelia and a pretty Forget-Me-Not mix, kind of late to start the former.

How to Create Seed-Starting Pots From Newspapers
posted by: evonnestoryteller on 11.30.2008 at 10:01 am in Winter Sowing Forum http://www.ehow.com/video_1745_create-seed-starting.html
Nice idea. I know you can also buy kits to make the newspaper pots. However, she recommends removing the paper before planting. I would stick with peat pots for that reaason. I use them when I don't want to disturb the plants roots when planting. NOTES: <none>

Instructions for posting clickable links
posted by: angelcub on 07.07.2008 at 12:01 pm in Cottage Garden Forum Hi All! Here are instructions for posting clickable links to your photos, web pages, etc. Type it as below but leave out all the spaces except the one between the first "a" and href. Copy/paste your url (http) where it says url (don't type url) and type a name for your pic where it says "name".
< a h r e f = url > name < / a > When you click "preview message" your clickable link should show up on the Message preview page. Test it out to see if it worked. If it did click "submit message" and you're done. Now you and others can just right click on the link to see your pics while still having the GW page open. This method of sharing pics also works well if you are sharing info or pics from various wed addies. HTH! NOTES: <none>
