Oh drat! I took this literally as in Brain and Flygirl were coming to my house to garden. I would even offer my husband's culinary expertise to feed them and I would tend bar. Alas, that wasn't the offer, though.

I guess now I have to read through the thread and try to figure this gardening stuff out!

I was just out at Laurel's house and am doing a landscape plan for her! I did do one for her neighbor across the street! LOL!

Oh sure, skip right over western PA! I don't just need a plan, I need an overhaul.

LOL! I love this thread!

Already got my gardening going and the
whole kit and caboodle - but of course
I live in the tropic zone so I start in
Dec & Jan ... months earlier than y'all.

If anyone's in the DEEP SOUTH - I can
HELP y'all down there - but I can't
answer any questions outside of that
zone though .... SORRY CHARLIE!
(oops - didn't mean to steal the line
from Starkist!)


Collard Greens Anyone??

And once you leave Holly's maybe you could scamper on to central PA. I need a plan too! Although we'll probably just end up on my porch drinking and shootin' the breeze! LOL

That's a good plan


My next question, Can I grow Wisteria in a huge container? I'm trying to hide a wall but there is a french drain at the base so nothing will grow in the ground. Any other type of plant you recomend?

If you can containerize a Wisteria...more power to you!!!

I would suggest a Clematis. They are much easier to grow in a large container and you can put up a nice trellis for them. Wisteria are very vigorous and invasive and I don't think you could contain it in any type of container except maybe a dump truck! LOL!

Good idea! I'm growing clematis in a container and it blooms nicely. I'm trying trumpet vine too, so I'll let you know how that goes. They get a bit bigger which may help you - since you seem like you want a larger plant.

Another one might be mornig glory. I'm not a fan, but it's an idea.
