LOL<br /><br />Gracie girl I have managed to buy plants even though I haven't actually planted them yet .. I am working on a plan! smell the smoke? LOL .. Yes I love campanula especially the smaller ones that tumble all over the place.<br />Today I am waiting for the rain .. I got the fertilizer down all over the gardens and the rain is an essential element that I can't wait for .. it will make the gardens so happy and me too!LOL<br /><br />Rose girl I haven't even thought of annuals yet .. none really out because we are still a little too cool. Ahhh ! serious plants shopping eh ? What are you looking for ?<br />Lavender ... as sunny a spot you can find and yes some sand really helps to keep things drained and lean .. it likes to be tortured a little ! hahaCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-39188464599665993902014-04-29T08:25:03.531-04:002014-04-29T08:25:03.531-04:00Spring is finally here, but still too early to pla...Spring is finally here, but still too early to plant most annuals yet. My back porch is already filling up with plants that have arrived in the mail, though. I hope the rain stops soon so I can plant them before the serious plant shopping begins:) I love lavender, too, though I haven't found a place it's really happy with. I've read that it likes some gravel or sand in the soil--is that what you use?

I lost several lavenders and my one rosemary this past winter but that Campanula just keeps on keeping on. You're so right. Nothing phases it. I hope you get some sunshine soon and a really nice spring for a change. Would you believe the forecasters are predicting 85 on Wednesday and Thursday this week? Crazy!

Yes the drive to garden is overwhelming after this horrible long winter!<br /><br />Lona girl how are you ? I enjoyed that tour with the water falls but forgot to comment, sorry ;-)<br />Lavender can be so picky and you are right about drainage .. it has to be excellent and the sun exposure too .. so I have a "hell strip" for lavender ..LOL !<br />Thanks for dropping by girl : )<br /><br />Eileen I love your many gorgeous Spring bulbs flowering : )<br />Bonnie usually supplies HD but these Burpee plants are really great ! There are so many mixtures you can fix your grass with now a days .. but I leave that to husband .. I get rid of as much grass as I can usually ! hahaCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-38139223429611531012014-04-26T19:28:54.604-04:002014-04-26T19:28:54.604-04:00We get the Bonnie plants here through Home Depot, ...We get the Bonnie plants here through Home Depot, just planted some today. The triple curled parsley I saw at Ball Gardens a couple of years ago and just planted some from seed. My back grass looks terrible and I am not sure what to do, put down seed, topsoil, we'll see.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-74659787011351602282014-04-26T19:10:04.926-04:002014-04-26T19:10:04.926-04:00Hi Joy.

I guess I do not have good draining soil that they like. You are adding so many pretties to your garden this year.Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-84590415248523961702014-04-25T20:56:33.654-04:002014-04-25T20:56:33.654-04:00Still way to early for us here in Southwestern Ont...Still way to early for us here in Southwestern Ontario , We don't get our plants or even think about planting them till the May 24 weekend !
