I frequently grow a clump in a pot over the summer, but even with our mild winter, the lemon grass from last year did not come back. I don't always remember to use it in cooking, though. I should learn how to make a curry. That sounds good.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-22775135203462161902012-05-20T21:24:42.769-05:002012-05-20T21:24:42.769-05:00Hi Jenny, Thanks for the nice words about my garde...Hi Jenny, Thanks for the nice words about my garden and gardening.

I really love the switchgrasses, and the little bluestems are OK to me so far. I hope they don't flop, but if they do, they will get a string tied around them. A couple of my golden alexanders have flopped. I think it's because we are using the sprinkler system, and they don't like the water hitting them. I can't remember the kind of hyssop. I looked at posts from last summer, and saw that they blooms are salmonish. I didn't name it in those posts, either, but said that it was doing well. I am so unorganized!Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-30890318735470970782012-05-18T22:42:03.958-05:002012-05-18T22:42:03.958-05:00Hi Freda, I wrote a reply, but it got eaten up by ...Hi Freda, I wrote a reply, but it got eaten up by Google. Let's see if I can remember what I said. (I had to cut and paste this when I realized for some reason, I was no longer signed in. I don't recall that happening before.)<br /><br />Larry enjoys mowing and hand weeding his little bit of lawn. He says that's what makes the flowers look nice. :o)<br /><br />The fleeceflower and red bee balm combination sounds great. I hope your wild quinine comes up.

I keep moving them around, covering what the rabbits seem to be currently munching on. I have some chicken wire type ones, too. A few days ago, when I went to give some marigolds to some neighbors, they showed me some frames they had made. I want to have Larry go look at them, and if he makes some, I'll post some photos of them.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-47616912748352008222012-05-18T22:26:30.027-05:002012-05-18T22:26:30.027-05:00Hi HolleyGarden, It's been fun seeing all the ...Hi HolleyGarden, It's been fun seeing all the growth.

The front was looking a bit cluttered for awhile. It's still hot here, so instead of passing it, it must have spread out a bit. LOL You have a great weekend, too.

Just amazing how fast everything is growing. Didn't know about gray/grey. I use grey for masculine and gray for feminine! haha - my own rules!
