In your area, it's best to plant them in the fall after Labor Day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242826954052867734.post-60560619537964238662009-03-16T22:35:00.000-07:002009-03-16T22:35:00.000-07:00Reene, Nice to meet you.

I bought (and blogged about) your French Perfume Lavender, Queen of the Night Sweet Peas, and Magic Beanstalk Scarlet Runner Beans. Is it too late to start the Sweet Peas? Should I wait for next year? I live in downtown Los Angeles.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/>The Concrete Jungle <BR/>http://concretejunglelosangeles.blogspot.comConcrete Junglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795186830681216776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242826954052867734.post-50265688049046822292009-03-13T18:50:00.000-07:002009-03-13T18:50:00.000-07:00Dear Gardenlover-I totally agree that I am also a ...Dear Gardenlover-<BR/>I totally agree that I am also a complete Zinnia fanatic. This season in our trial garden I am trying 16 new color combinations. So far, my favorite is purple, yellow and orange, which I am going to call Bling Bling. What do you think!<BR/>-Renee ShepherdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242826954052867734.post-69152599967972408952009-03-13T13:35:00.000-07:002009-03-13T13:35:00.000-07:00It is true that interest in vegetable gardening is...It is true that interest in vegetable gardening is surging with scary economic times and various food scares, so that we all want more control over what we put on our tables.<BR/><BR/>But here in Alabama, we still want our pretty flowers. We still want to attract the birds, bees and butterflies. So, the Master Gardeners in our city are making a demonstration garden in partnership with the city. It will have herbs and blueberries but will focus on ornamental plants. <BR/><BR/>A circular mound in front of a bench will soon have a birdbath in the center and be surrounded by a profusion of Renee's Garden zinnias. Zinnias attract butterflies, you know, and Renee's Zinnia seeds have been the most attractive I've found. I can't wait to see how this turns out!gardenloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459406527054266780noreply@blogger.com
