I've never tried it and anything with the name mess in it just delights me somehow.<br /><br />Are you eating your garlic scapes yet? The ones at work are ready, I just have to remember to bring some home with me to eat.

But the Farmer's Almanac says we're in for a wet summer. Sob.

I have a lot of shade, though which comes in handy when it gets hot. And it will get hot, right?Marty Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292209181619672483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-53632219613166660412010-06-18T10:34:33.177-07:002010-06-18T10:34:33.177-07:00No, they aren't at all, Erin.

I don't takes shots of all the unaesthetic areas, lol, and believe me, there ARE some around (all my hybrid teas). One thing I find wild and crazy is how different out weather is - and yet we don't live that far from each other.

Must seek out...beautiful! Are they fussy? When I encountered them as a paid gardener, they usually seemed healthy and robust (we never sprayed, if it couldn't thrive Laurie, by lovely boss, ripped 'em out and planted hardier types. Ha!). I have many rugosas, and need more rose drama, low maintenance rose drama!<br /><br />You have a very pretty, and established-looking garden. Mine is feeling random and not fully plugged in these days, or maybe I'm feeling random and not fully pluggd in these days. Sigh. Someone send the sun and all of its energy, please??Erinhttp://erin-awildandpreciouslife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-74560367765700775032010-06-18T07:36:45.596-07:002010-06-18T07:36:45.596-07:00They are!

It was an initial bumper crop, but I'm a little worried because I should have thinned them and I didn't, and now I'm seeing the gap in that theory (lack of strawberries on some plants & smaller strawberries). I need to deal with my inability to thin. I think it's a pathology.<br /><br />What is it with these rare pieces? We bought some of the Educational stuff with our SD money and OMG the shrieks of delight at all the rare pieces THERE. It's weird. They're weird.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-35074074314513700012010-06-18T06:57:40.847-07:002010-06-18T06:57:40.847-07:00Wowsa!

They are gorgeous. <br />Your garden looks amazing, as always.<br /><br />p.s. your LEGO maniacs sound like my LEGO maniac. There is much excitement revolving around rare pieces - most recently it was a caramel colour brick, and I recall the clone trooper jet packs got a lot of attention too.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844057739575974noreply@blogger.com
