Love those Prairie Smoke Geum! I really need to try planting some again, but I will be sure to mark them carefully so I don't dig them out, thinking they are weeds, as I did last time:(Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-56027591213194792182017-03-25T07:41:47.824-05:002017-03-25T07:41:47.824-05:00Love seeing your beautiful plants break through th...Love seeing your beautiful plants break through the leaves this spring.

Mine (at my old house) had DEEP ROOTS and was impossible to dig up so I left it. I figured if they would fight me eating greens at dinner, they would not eat enough of it to hurt them. If they vomited, lesson learned. I did have something in the nightshade family, maybe belladona??? I don't remember but it was drop dead poisonous. It did not even go in the compost pile but straight to the trash can.<br /><br />I also had been given castor beans but had never planted them so they were trashed. <br /> <br />Oh, and we had a holly bush that I loved and wanted to use as winter decorations. Nope. It was trashed.<br /><br />My Mom still has her landline and the original 50 year old rotary phone that works. Young children today do not know how to use it! They try to punch the dial...then we laugh.<br /><br />I suppose since I am back on your site I should look around a little bit more...instead of cooking dinner right now...shame on me.<br /><br />Jeannie<br />GetMeToTheCountry.Blogspot.comJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-1582720654027267972017-03-23T14:47:56.631-05:002017-03-23T14:47:56.631-05:00Shoot, I never did find myself some pasque flowers...Shoot, I never did find myself some pasque flowers!

Ruby was in her sandbox, and grabbed a weed that was growing under the fence between ours and the neighbor's yard, and popped the berries into her mouth. I'm thinking it was ground cherry. The gal was very nice and told me she should be fine with the amount she may have swallowed. She said what to watch for just in case, but there was no need for her to be seen by a doctor. I'm not remembering what it was the first time.<br /><br />Do you remember what plants you ended up pulling out? We still use our land line, by the way. We live in the house my husband grew up in, and it has the same phone number it always did. Ruby will be here soon, but I plan on getting your blog visited today or tomorrow.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-81298939435840336722017-03-23T12:24:38.707-05:002017-03-23T12:24:38.707-05:00LOL, Cynthia, my house is a mess much of the time....LOL, Cynthia, my house is a mess much of the time. I actually spend too much time on Facebook, and am trying to wean myself off it some. I seem to be pretty much limiting my blog posts to Wildflower Wednesday, but maybe I'll get more in later in the season. <br /><br />When I worked as a paraeducator, I had my summers off, so having Ruby four days a week means I "work" more hours a year than I used to. It is an adjustment not having my summers off, but we have lots of fun. How old are your grandsons now?

And then I noticed that they were the focus of the post. They're wonderful. Prairie Smoke is one of my favorites, too. I don't have enough sun for them in my own garden, but it's so fun to come across them at the Arboretum or in the wild.Beth @ PlantPostingshttps://plantpostings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-82641355172477783022017-03-22T16:38:52.483-05:002017-03-22T16:38:52.483-05:00Hello Sue!

They were fed well but that did not matter, they still had to pop things in their mouths. I studied every plant in my yard to find out what was poisonous. If it only made them throw-up and the plant had deep roots, it stayed. If it was deadly, it went. I had poison control's phone number written in black magic marker on the wall over the phone (landline, I am telling my age). Friends would laugh when they saw it, I did not laugh. I had the number memorized.<br />Your grandchildren are blessed to have you sharing your garden with them.<br />Jeannie<br />GetMeToTheCountry.Blogspot.com<br />Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-12539622677135724992017-03-22T10:20:06.811-05:002017-03-22T10:20:06.811-05:00Hi Sue!

For some reason, I have a tendency to get those 2 mixed up sometimes.<br /><br />Ruby is with you 4 days a week! Wow. Yet you still manage to get so much writing and gardening done. I am very impressed. We have Connor and Grayson for 5 days a week (and sometimes a bit on weekends). Since our yard is not fenced and we live on a lake, we have taken to watching them over at their house recently.... Even with 2 of us, it's definitely cutting into my gardening and blogging time, although I do love being an integral part of their lives as they grow and change. Connor's favorite activity recently is grabbing handfuls of leaves and pulling them off the shrubs. Groan. Hopefully this phase will pass rapidly!<br /><br />Inspired by this post, I am going to try to get photos and a Wildflower Wednesday post out, too, but it will almost assuredly be Thursday before I get to it! LOL! Enjoy your spring!<br /><br />CynthiaGaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-9772596176137857142017-03-22T08:11:35.790-05:002017-03-22T08:11:35.790-05:00Hi Sue, You have so much coming up!
