Full StoryHi there, I posted a few times last year but not much. I plan to post more this year. I had some good and bad along my first growing season maybe some of you could help me out with some I had issues with. I live in Bergen County.
Plants that did well:
Butterfly Bush
Hollyhock
Snapdragons
Bells of Ireland
Morning Glory
Garden Phlox
Mexican Sunflower
Lambs Ear
Anahiem Hot Pepper
Genovis Basil
Italian Parsley
Eggplant Black Beauty
Radish Cherry Belle
Things I had problems with:
Alyssum: Grew very stringy and yellowing leaves that outgrew form center of plant.
Tomato: Thing grew to be huge, leaves turned yellow then I found this nasty green worm with white stuff hanging off it's back. I still have nightmares...
Blue Hosta: Gave it lots of shade but didn't grow very big.
Lettuce: Different kinds, they all grew few leaves and bolted very early.
Delphinium: Flowered once when it was only 1-2 ft tall then died.
Watermelon: Grew nice fruit but they cracked open and rotted.
Bearded Iris: Nothin, it just sits there for a year now. I have a few, I cut some down and seperated them out, left one with the leaves. I doubt I get flowers from any this year.
Butterfly Weed: Bought a bunch and they all died, don't see any coming back either. I'm going to try from seed this year.
Garlic: Rots everytime.
New plants i'm trying this year:
Lilac- Very very small, got it out of a box, planted it all alone in full sun.
Cosmos- Double Take and regular mix
Sweet Williams
Russian Sage
Moonflower(hanging pot)
Cardinal Flower
Blue bells
Thyme
Cumin
Purple Basil
Thanks for any replies.
