| Hi Marg, Thanks so much for your reply :-) and yes it was a big help!!! Blue Pearl Jacob's Ladder sounds wonderful! I have red and also white, but wasn't aware there was a blue variety! I just planted mine this past season (rescued plants). Do you normally start from seed or starts? If seed, have any idea as to the best time to start them for June flowering? Will start the white Marigolds in March (great idea). I have Cosmos in a few beds in the backyard now... reseeds from last year, but they are just now coming into bloom, so would guess I'll add them to my greenhouse list to start blooming earlier. Would a March sowing be good timing for them as well? I have several varieties of Lily planted (Casablanca and Stargazer included). This is their 2nd season in the ground, but are just finishing blooming now (Jul-Aug). Should I buy more and start earlier in the greenhouse? Sadly many of my Lily's became expensive gopher food, so will be planting in wire baskets from now on... Cupid's Dart is a new one to me... so will be checking it out for sure! I do have climbing roses planted for the arbor (planted this year), but doubt they will be large enough to put on much of a display by next June, so your idea of Cathedral Bells is a good one. Someone else suggested to me planting Hops to fill in for greenery and then adding pots of flowers... might also work... I've planted several 'snaps' this year in hopes of their reseeding and do plan on starting many more in the GH... so we are on the same page there :-) Heathcliff Sweetpea also sounds interesting! I did come across another idea that I thought I'd try to incorporate... Tumbled blue glass. Thought I'd sprinkle it all around in the gravel area (steps and patio/landing)to add some blue sparkle... Of course I have to see 'if' I can locate some :-)
Thanks again Marg for your help! Much appreciated!
