It isn't so m...Jennifer my goodness thank you !<br />It isn't so much that my gardens are large but I use every bit of space around the perimeter of our property<br />So it follows those lines and some islands thrown in. You have to get some toadlilies girl and I laughed at you about the hellebore ;-) where were YOU !! They are beautiful plants Jennifer so you have to start your collection .. I say collection because once you are bitten it has to be that way !! : )<br />I actually know when to divide them .. I keep putting it off because this is my original baby and cooler weather will be easier on both of us when I do it ! haha<br />Now put those two on your list .. toadliliy and hellebore !!CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-14857852667193275012011-08-12T15:47:28.652-04:002011-08-12T15:47:28.652-04:00Jennifer@threedogsinagarden

It always impresses me how amazingly tidy you manage to keep it all. <br />I don't have any toadlilies. I wish I did though. I also don't have any hellebores (Where was I when everyone else was discovering this early beauties??) so I am sorry, but I have no advice for you on moving them. Your latest series of sky shots are great. I especially like the last two in the most recent post. Very moody!! Have a great weekend!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-12011912795111898142011-08-12T06:42:52.304-04:002011-08-12T06:42:52.304-04:00Hello Darla girl and thank you !

Thank you ! .. I'm...Hello there Eileen girl : )<br />Thank you ! .. I'm not sure if it is too late yet .. but do a couple if you have multiples and watch them to see what happens .. mine were getting so tall I had to do it a couple of times to keep them from falling over, they were stretched out so much.<br />I have eyed persicaria a few times because it is gorgeous but this Joe Pye came first and he is a BIG guy!! .. Try him out Eileen .. he should work well with your beautiful gardens : )<br /><br />Hello Lisa girl : ) Yup .. I am thinking it has to be done soon .. it is my original one and it has grown a lot .. yes, very healthy indeed girl ! haha<br /><br />Hello there Aerie-el girl : )and thank you ! Your picture is too cute : ) looks like you are ready for a harsh winter in that get up! LOL ...hey we all fall behind in visiting I am guilty of it too!<br />Yup .. Autumn is a good time to split most plants and I'll try to remember about making that noise so you can hear me girl ! hahaha<br /><br />Grace girl thank you and your advice is always sound .. no need for "salt grains"! LOL .. this morning is a cool dry morning and it is beautiful : ) almost like an Autumn morning, you have to love that !<br /><br />Hello Tiina .. thank you : ) Yup .. I do have to split this hellebore up .. it is taking up too much room and I did sort of promise a division to a friend .. so I better follow through with it ;-)CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-24898870810722883172011-08-11T04:49:34.267-04:002011-08-11T04:49:34.267-04:00You have so beautiful garden.That tall guy is Joe ...You have so beautiful garden.That tall guy is Joe Pye Weed,eupatorium purpureum.Your helleborus looks great -and big,I admit-do you have to do something about it?<br />Happy gardening:)Tiinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472411229764997237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-83686042720289438492011-08-11T00:03:52.564-04:002011-08-11T00:03:52.564-04:00Hi Joy Dear, Beautiful garden and sky. Yeah, that ...Hi Joy Dear, Beautiful garden and sky. Yeah, that Joe...what's his name is quite a character, isn't he? LOL <br /><br />I'm thinking now would be a good time to divide your hellebore. I'm just guessing though. Typically I would say right after it's finished flowering but because the flowers and seedpods hold on for so long I'm going to say now. Take my advice with a grain of salt. :)GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-18727285564661189592011-08-10T22:07:21.528-04:002011-08-10T22:07:21.528-04:00Oooo, I like the new look of your place/blog :)! I...Oooo, I like the new look of your place/blog :)! I've been away a while and see what I'm missing--a lot! Oh my, tell me about pinching back toad lilies--do I need to do that? I'm so embarrassed that I hadn't heard that before. <br />As for dividing your hellebore, the best time here, west of the Cascades in Washington State, is in the fall. My guess for you is to tackle your big guy this fall!

Is it too late to pinch toadlilies, just put some in this year?<br /><br />I love to see big plants like your Joe Pye Weed in narrow areas, but I am not having great luck with my Persicaria, maybe Joe Pye Weed instead!<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.com
