Hope you don't get it twice.<br /><br />Conflicting information in the gardening world! Imagine that! LOL That bowl of orange carrots look so pretty to me. No crocuses blooming here. We're expecting 50s this week so maybe then I'll see some action in the flower beds.<br /><br />No, the birds didn't eat much of the seed hearts because the squirrels managed to lift the ribbons off the hooks and then runaway with the hearts. My husband found one heart buried in the dirt (where there had been some thawing) with only the red ribbon sticking out.

I forget about my garden through the winter months and then sometime in February/March, when the warmer climates are heading into their spring, my interest in gardening reignites and long for sunny days outside with my shovel and spade! :) The carrots look yummy (after the cleanup that is!) and I hope your soup was great!

I ...Hi Sue, I have golden Alexander and I love it. I originally planted heart-leaved Alexander because someone recommended it to me for the swallowtails. I've had it for several years but it has never done much. I don't think it gets enough moisture in my garden, since I rarely water. But then I got Golden Alexander (which I think is actually more commonly known even though it took me longer to find out about it) and it bloomed spectacularly the first year (which was two springs ago). The second year, last year, I had a two clumps. I vaguely remember intentionally picking some seeds and then immediately dropping them in a bare spot but it was the work of a moment. Now I dream about having a whole swath of them, because they were just so pretty at a time when I don't have much else, except I think I forgot to spread the seed around this fall. Still, it's good to know how easy it is to propagate and I will try to remember again this fall. I hope you find them just as easy and enjoyable.Sharon@SproutsandWildlingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622277229615660467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-4996509746447467612012-02-24T10:21:25.427-06:002012-02-24T10:21:25.427-06:00Hi Sue, I've not heard of Golden Alexanders.

I said "I'm thinking about going outside to get some shots." And my husband said, "I'm thinking about staying inside and having some shots." He was joking of course, but a heavy snow is my current fate. The spring blooms will have to wait. But the snow is very pretty.

I have been thinking about planting some of these myself this year. I saw some in full bloom at the Chicago Botanic Garden a few years ago, and they were stunning.
