As the Garden Grows

Well,..I thought i would do an update on the many plants i have recieved from Ottawaplantcycle and how they are doing. I grow them so i can improve on the naked landscape i got when i moved here.I also like to "share" my plants. I have quite a few this year along with the ones that came back from last year. I have been gifting for some time this year now .I wonder how the lil' ones are doing i gave out.
Here is a blog on Val's Garden and the wonders and mysterys in there that keep her from going into the house.What's growing in Val's Garden.?..Lets take a look.

An experimental patch for the Iron Cross is doing well..anyone else's Iron Cross bulbs doing this good.?
